Default Brakes or Balancing

i get a bad vibration everytime i drive my car. It vibrates on the highway and when i brake its gets worse. Is it the brakes or the balancing of the tires?

Sounds like it could be severely warped rotors, or both need some attention. It doesn't hurt to have your tires balanced.

Just b/c they're new doesn't mean they're not out of round.

does it do it all the time or just when you hit the brakes? if it does it all the time id look else where, could be your tires if it still does it after balancing you might want to get your driveshaft checked out, maybe rebalnce that as well
