Default added air to a deflated tire

Hey all,

Im trying to figure out whats wrong with my s2k. I woke up this morning and realized that my rear passenger side tire was noticible flatter than my driver side tire. I took it to the local gas station and added air to 36 PSI to each side.

Now when I drive the car it shakes like crazy. I looked at the wheel from the ground as emy friend was driving it away and my rear passenger side wheel does not rotate evenly but shakes pretty badly. when the tire was flat (below 10-20 PSI) the car drove okay but now with the added air the rotation on my rear tire is noticibley off.

What could be causing this problem? Alignment or tire? The wheel looks fine from the side in terms of the alignment & toe.

Im hoping that its just a tire problem and nothing dealing with my axle.

srry to say but you have slipped a belt in the tire. gonna have to go get a new one! I had this before and that was the only fix.

Hope this helps

If you drove any distance on it with 10PSI you have probably F'd the tire. Certainly wouldn't hurt to inspect all the suspension components and then swap the wheels/tires right to left to see if the shake switches sides (Tire) or stays on the same side (Suspension).
Keep your speeds low til you sort it out and good luck
