Default Shakey at 80mph

Was on the freeway today and got up to 80 when I noticed a more that slight shake, I can feel it in the steering wheel and feel the car also.

Checked tire pressure at 27psi on both front tires. Think it could be that or maybe something more serious like bad tires or alignment?

Your wheels might need balancing. How long have you been running the current wheels and tires?

Most likely wheels need balancing.

And put some air in those tires!!! Should be 35psi

ok I know it's been awhile since I posted. I did my front brakes today and took off the rims and did a thorough cleaning. Well guess what, apparently Discount Tire uses little stick on weights for tire balance. And they all fell off the passenger side rim.
