    Bad alignment will not cause shaking only pulling one direction or the other. Shaking is usually caused by a balance issue or the tires are severely worn.

    i agree with @diverdale , when the tires are chopped or the wheel balance is off pretty good, it will cause the shaking and pulling while driving.

    Rotate them first and see if it helps... Maybe balance, bent rims, come on guys... We should check a few things before spending money. TW tire recommendations are usually Michelin or coopers. I would recommend a four wheel alignment $60 around here in Ohio. I always get it done with a new set of shoes. If something is worn too far then they will let you know
