The car drives fine in the town streets at 30-35 miles per hour. I can't drive it in highways or didn't have the opportunity to drive it in a long flat route. Here in MA there are tons of slops and curves when you are driving through the towns streets.
Thank you

When I replaced all four tires on my Car here locally, I got new tubes tires and was not aware but they also balanced the wheels with stick on weights! I did not notice them till I started doing a brake job on the front axle! All 4 wheels have the stick on weights stuck kind of hidden on the inside of the rim. I guess it can't hurt, but I notice no difference. My speeds are under 45mph!
