Alright, so pretty much when ever I am driving, the steering wheel shakes like crazy.
Even with two hands on the wheel trying to control it, there is so much vibration.
I know my tires are getting pretty low, but they can last a couple more months.
I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but do you think it's the wheel bearings, unbalanced tires/rims, or just low treads?
The car pulls to the right when I let go of the steering wheel too.

Please help me out!

the tires aren't chopped or anything like that and i accidentally skidded all 4 tires once cause i didnt notice a stop sign that was in the middle of no where once, but it shook and whatnot wayyy before that happened. I'm getting new tires soon. I'm having them balanced and i am going to get an alignment as well. If nothing changes after all that and the steering wheel is shaking, I'll check more in depth on the whole suspension thing.
