Got it. If it's vibrating or shaking at low speed, typically that indicates loose suspension issue. Typically a tire or wheel issue occurs at higher speeds. Does the steering wheel shake?

No
Automotive Expert
So would you say that the shaking occurs more from the rear than the front?

It shakes everywhere
Automotive Expert
At highway speed it's smooth?
Automotive Expert
Interesting. I think this could be a tread separation of a tire. I would get a second opinion from another shop.
