Default tire shake...

when I first bought may GS about 3 months ago I bought 4 new tires, but last week my front left went out (very large nail). Since I replaced my tire I'm experiencing a lil tire shake. It's more noticeable at higher speeds (anything over 45mph). Is this just from the tread not being even? Is there anything I can do to prevent this? Should I buy another front tire to compensate for the shake?

Maybe it was not balanced right. Take it back to the shop where you bought it from and have them rebalance it. If that doesn't work get a new tire because the one you have may be defective (so out of balance that weights placed on the wheel won't alleviate the problem).

Agreed on the balancing.

How is the wear pattern?

maybe alignment or worn out bushing?
