Wheel weights. Their wheels will be unbalanced, meaning their steering will vibrate at certain speeds, depending on what the new balance is.

It’s not unsafe per se, at least not primarily. It’s annoying as fuck tho.

Oh shit. I had an old beater that would shake apart at certain rpms. It was a hand me down that I drove into the ground and didn't spend money on, so I never got it inspected. Didn't know the solution was so easy.

You could randomly stick weights on it and slowly figure out of if you really wanted to.

To balance a tire properly you need a bubble balancer.
