Yes I could. That is normal on the older cars.

You are having your mechanic install it right?

Tire out of balance or a broken belt in the tire.
Have you hit a curb lately?

well no, but i did have a flat 2 days ago and when i got it fixed the guy said the tire pressure was at 30 pounds, maybe i have to check that?......i havent hit a curve, and how can i know if the tire is out of balance? with the tire pressure?

Did he rebalance it after he fixed it?
You will have to have the tire balanced to see if it is out.

huh? rebalanced it? no he just put it right back and that was it...what should i do then?, i have to take the car soon for an alignment(i think thats the name of it, im not sure, i dont know because english is not my native language) and they fix that while they do it? is the thing that you take the car 2 times every year so when you let the steering wheel go it goes straight..

Tell them you want the tires balanced before they align it.
If you get a tire repaired. If they use a plug or a patch and not rebalance the tire the balance of the tire is off.
