does it only shake above 100? I'd say it's the wheel balance. I doubt any tyre fitter would check the balance at that speed. Take it back to the wheel place and get them to re-check the balance - you shouldn't be charged for this.

You might want to invest in some spelling lessons before driving over a 100mph...

Gotta say, I preferred 'shack' to 'shake'.

It's wheel balance. The better balanced all FOUR of your wheels are, the faster you can go without noticing problems.

It is more likely a buckled wheel (or two!) if you have had it balanced so many times - they couldn't get it wrong THAT many times. Hope this helps.
