Hi there,

Go to your tyre dealer and have an inspection done, if the tyres are still OK, get a rotate and balance done first.

I been having my vehicle since Feburary this year and the tires haven't been rotated and balance since. Would that cause all the shakeness to the vehicle? I though it was not having a oil change but when I took my car in to have the oil change, the shakeness was still there.

Hi there,

Tyres are the most common cause of steering vibration and to get the maximum life from your tyres, the should be rotated and balanced every 2nd service, do this and you should fell a big difference.
