I'd take the tire back and double check the wheel balance. If you didn't notice vibration until 70, my vote is on balance. It's the cheapest and easiest fix. good luck.

tell your drunk friend he's an idiot, take his keys, and let him sober up next time.

Ouch....god damn that's one confusing post!

There are no drive axles on the front of the car, only the rear

It could be any number of things, from a bent wheel, poorly balanced tire, improper air pressure, damaged bushing, damaged wheel bearing, etc. Only way to know for sure is have an experienced shop give everything a once over after you do the easy stuff (wheel/tire) yourself

1) You should sue your high school english teacher

2) Why are you following a drunk person home?

3) Sounds like you bent your wheel, it should cost you at least $100 to have it fixed.

the solution: dont let your drunk friend drive home.
the second solution: if he does decide to drive home, and u have to follow him, dont follow him that freaking close...common think about it mane

good luck, probably a bent rim..

To me it sounds like you were and still are drunk! How do u make sure your friend gets home okay by following him? Your story is flawed
