Default Shakes at 70 mph.

I was wondering if anyone has had a problem with your Jeep shaking at 70 mph. I don't think I had this problem before I towed my bike on a trailer. Or before I put some new tires on there. The tires I put 265 70r17 or 75r17. Not really sure. But has anyone had this problem or should I take it to be checked. Thanks.

Check to make sure you don't have some mud stuck on the inside of your rims. If that's not the culprit and you are running the correct tire pressure I would take them back in for re-balancing.

x 3 on the rebalancing. Maybe your stearing stablizer bar?

Also may want to check and make sure you didn't lose one of your wheel weights...

70 miles per hour thought the speed limit was 55

Without a doubt your tires are not balanced correctly. Go get it taken care of right away. Or you will be buying some new tires sooner than you wanted to..
