Hey there. From the shaking issue that you’re describing, you’ll need to have the tires and rims checked for bent rims or tires that are out of balance. If you used tire sealer to seal one of the tires, then it can be from this or one of the tire weights falling off. Have a tire shop check the balance of the tires and check tires for damages.
