Shaking around 90km/h or 65 mph

Guys,

I've just recently changed from my winter tires to the summer (stock) tires ( long winter). When I go around 90km/h or 65 mph the car start to shake a little. I checked out aliegnment and balance for the wheels, but everything looked fine. The only thing I'm expect is the tires. They are wore out, but still has tracks. Could that be the problem? Do I need to get a new set of tires?

Thanks and regards

Charles

if your tires are shot then that is probably the problem. where did you store your tires over the winter? did a balancing weight fall off?

does it do it ALL the time? when cruising, when braking, when accelerating, be more specific. could be a bunch of things, most likely just need a better balance or new wheels, but if there's more specific symptoms it could be something else.

How did you store them.
If they were standing up then you most likely have them out of round slightly.
Try inflating them to 50 or 60 psi and letting the pressure back out to 32psi.

Thanks for all the replies. The tires were in my garage over the winter. This only happens when I'm doing around 90-100km. I doesn't matter if I'm accelerating, braking for changing gear. So I think it's just the tires. I did tire balance inspection, they are okay. I'll try to ride it out on the road.
