I got all 4 tires balanced and rotated about 2-3 weeks ago, I was going home and noticed the car starts to shake when I hit 50. It did it before, but now it is worse. What's up with my tires!?

What is the condition of the outer tie rods? Check the bushing and see how it looks. Mine had to be changed out at 60K miles. They caused the front to vibrate.

Well I need two new tires.. but they would vibrate when I first got them. I have really thought about putting my ugly stockers back on because it's annoying as hell.

Could be possible that the person balancing your tires did not know what they were doing. Could also be possible that wheel weight flew off and now your tire is unbalanced. Did they do a dynamic or static balance? I would take it back since they did the work and let them go for a ride with you and show them.

I think I am going to just take my car back to them. I know my air is not unblanced, I just put air in them 2 days ago.

it was so far off zero it was unbelievable

the guy actually went from giving me crap to free service

Did you have them take out the winter air and put in summer air? Sorry I couldn't resist. Your problem is most likely tire/wheel related. Simple way to find out is to put the stock wheels back on or have them rebalanced. If the problem goes away it is the tires. Also, if the tires have bad wear, balancing may not correct the problem fully.

are you sure the tires are "true" and the wheels are not bent?

I would suggest that it is a balancing error

The tires could be out of round, which causes them to hop or bounce up & down. And like Guz said, if the tie rods are worn you will get vibration. It happened to me on my 99 GP, I thought the tires were out of balance, then they replaced the tie rods and the vibration went away.
