Take it to a tire shop and have it balanced. Also, make sure the lugnuts are tight.

Is it a bad vibration? If it violent enough that you can feel it in the steering wheel its probably not just out of balance. A tire this small shouldn't make it vibrate too bad if it just out of balance.

It could be the tread separating. I had that happen to me. It vibrated for a couple weeks and gradually got worse, then I notice the tire was falling apart! I could see the steel belt commin through the tread.

I good tire shop will be able to notice this if you take it in.

just last nite my tire exploded. tire was still inflated but the tread fell apart. i was going about 70-80mph. if u start seeing the treads separating as in any metal thread. dont go over 50 unless u want a tire explosion.

ill try to get a picture of it soon.

Tire may be seperated if it is causing that much vibration, just be careful while driving the car untill you get it looked at by a professional.

To woodonastick be extreamly careful when handeling that tire if the casing explodes and you have your hands in the wrong place at wrong time it can break every bone in you hand, and both bones in your fore arm.

I would recomend letting the air out of the tire before you pull the wheel off the car
