      Snow/ice buildup is a likely cause - just run your fingers all the way around the inside of the wheels. Hopefully you'll find and remove something - doesn't take much to throw off the balance.
      OTOH, when you loan to another driver, will they be as careful as you are about avoiding problems in the road? I try not to think about how many potholes my daughters hit with my poor Aveo, even though I told them 10,000 times to avoid them

      That was my first reaction too, until I noticed where he lives. It's actually only around 55 in "real" numbers

      there's also the possibility of there being flat spots on the tires (either from a Panic stop, or from sitting a VERY LONG time)

      I've done 115 MPH in my Aveo driving through Texas.


      However, my left wheel pulls when getting to that speed. I've reduced it to brakes and bushings on the lower control arm.

      Lol, how long did it take to get that high? The aveo is quick to 60, and then it seems like mine just gives up lol

      Not very long lol. Once it got to fourth (wife refuses to drive a manual), it was a question of keeping momentum and opening up the throttle.

      If I had to slow down, because that happens on high speed motorways, I was forced to go into the right lane until I could bring it back to speed.
