Get underneath your car and check behind all your wheels. If you have a garage, or access to one, park your car in it and let it thaw. If that doesn't do it, then you might need to have your wheels rebalanced.

Your car won't shake that bad just from wheel balancing. You'd only notice that over 80 KMH. Did you have winter rims put on recently? I just had my stock rim and tires put on recently for winter and the car shook violently after they were done. I brought it back and found out they left the spacers on from my summer rims without realizing it. They took them off and everything was fine.

I disagree, if two of your four tires are out by 2.00 or more, it would cause that kind of shaking, or if they were out of alignment, (although tire wear would be a bigger problem with the alignment). but agree with otter go thaw out, see what happens.

It *can* if someone took the balancing weight off and put it back on opposite where it was.

Yeah it only shake over 80 KMH... I put my winter rims like 2 or 3 weeks ago but i had them last years and it never do that before...

EDIT: also, last year my winter tires were put by a shop but this year i put them myself but i don't understand why it suddently shake like this.

take your car to a carwash.

ive had some nice hidden ice before and had the same problem. hot water will take care of any ice buildup. if it still shakes after that then you may just need a balance
