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!

also, one other thing i noticed is that the owner before me put new calipers and drilled rotors, and when i take the wheels off, the rotors just wobble.
i would sort of think that they should be mounted somehow so they don't wobble, but as for now, the only thing holding them on when the wheels are off are the calipers/brake pads. braking is smooth on it, so i am not sure if that is much of a problem or not?
