2011 SS Shakes!
Long story short, I got a nail in my rear pass tire, went to goodyear, had them patch it, now at 75 + mph the car shakes! not too bad, but its definitely there..
I was thinking its probably out of balance, but all it was, was a patch job ...
What do you guys think? thx

I'm with Jason on this. My 2011 SS doesn't shake AT ALL. In fact, I have to be extremely careful when not using cruise control on the highway. At times when the road's not too congested I look down at the speedometer, which I keep on digital display, and find myself going 82-85 MPH. It's SO SMOOTH it gets away from me at times.
My guess is that you threw a weight. Get it checked as your tire is taking a beating.
Edit: Ah...OK. I didn't read the rest of the thread before responding. Glad to see that all is well and you are safe!

FWIW, I would never take my business to that shop in the future.
When I was in college and worked p/t as a pump block attendant for a local service station, if we removed the tire from the rim to do a "patch" we would always re-balance the wheel/tire after remounting. It was a given. The tire almost never remounts the exact way it was prior to removal and re-balancing should be mandatory in most reputable shops. It sounds like they were cutting corners.

I have a screw in my drivers rear and it has been there since last fall. Luckily I have tire warranty so it saves me the $600 the rear tire costs. Tire is not leaking air so dealership does not think its punctured. Here's hopin they pull the screw and the tire is fine.

This may or may not void the speed rating on the tire as well as it depends on the tire manufacturer's guidelines.
Fortunately tires are ruggedly over engineered and catstrophic results are relatively low (the industry also keeps a lid on this stuff since its been a field day for tort lawyers) unfotunately its created a situation where drivers and tire techs take them for granted.
