Tires shake when you start out and around forty miles per hours. I change the tire pressure from 35 psi to 44 which was on all four tires. I change it back to 35 which the book said, so now I am trying to figured this out. Can you tell me what the problem is, because I did not have this problem before I added more air. Help please.

Adding too much pressure to the tires could have caused one of them to break a belt, which would make a tire a little bumpy and/or oblong shaped. You can check it by hand for bumps and compare all of your tires. You could also have lost a balancing weight, throwing the tires out of balance and causing that shake. I am giving you a how-to guide on checking various wheel problems that can cause a shake. It is not your brakes, and I would bet it has something to do with the tires. So look specifically at step 2, which is about the tires. Or, if you have a trusted tire shop around, take it there and have them look at it.
