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!

I also have a similar problam. When i drive - everything is ok, but when i am at big speed and i push brakes my car starts shaking. Where to look for problems? Tyres are good, wheels are balanced, also new brake pads installed.

that points to warped brake rotors.
