Default Tire rotation/shakes?

I recently rotated the tires on my Dakota and now I have the shakes from about 65-70 miles an hour. Is it possiable that one of the tires was unbalanced and it just didn't show itself untill it was moved to it's new location?

Ya most likely unbalanced but it could be one not installed correctly like off center. I would say double check to make sure all are tight and do it in a star pattern. Then next you may want to go get them all balanced.

it's probably a balance issue. You probably didn't notice it cause it was in the back, but now the tires are in the front, so you feel the out of balance tire much more now since it's directed directly to the steering.
