Default Off Balance?

Hello everyone...quick question.
About 2 months ago i had a blow out on my rear left tire. And i replaced it with another brand. Differnt than the original hankook rs-2's. The tires not bad at all, but my question is at speeds under 70mph, the car wont shake. anything 70+ the car shakes...and it all happend after this tire was installed. Do u think its not balanced properly? thanks....

It is because you have a different brand tire installed. The only way you are going to rid yourself of that problem is to get a like (meaning exact same tire as before) tire put on.

More than likely you'll have to get two tires that match. Differences in width and tread depth could cause this. Also it's been pretty cold so you may want to check your tire pressure to make sure they're the same as that may cause it too.

TIRES ON THE REAR HAVE TO BE EXACT SAME; IF THEY ARE DIFFERENT YOU RUN A CHANCE OF MESSING THE DIFF UP; (MEANING IF THE OLD TIRES WERE AT SAY 5/32 AND THE NEW ONE IS 12/32)

who told you your left rear wheel wobbles?

If it wobbles, you'd be able to feel it.
it could be a number of things.

If somebody following you could see it wobble it probably would have fallen off by now and you'd be dead.....
