I was having some shaking while driving and braking. I was told I probably have a bad tire. They tires were rotated and I was told its 90 percent better but one of my tires is probably not good to go back to where I got them. They were put on in the last year. What does this mean, a bad tire?
If you have a shakey car ---meaning you can feel it in the front tires and the steering wheel,,,the most likey problem is the steering linkage,or the front suspension------not the tires or a tire. Have someone check the steering linkage for loose or worn out joints. Expecially the tie rods.
Your tread is probably wearing on one of them. When this happens, it's truly best to replace all your tires. Your ride will be so much better once you're on a new set of tires. But since I'm not looking at your tires, take your car to a reliable tire center and ask them. To be safe, get a couple opinions.
the belts in tires can separate and make a twist in the tread of the tire. that's normally what they mean by a bad tire. A separated tire will normally be noticeable at a slow speed. If it's on the front the steering wheel will shake. Any slow speed vibration is usually a separated tire and I suspect that's what you have.
