mx6 shaking after 80k's

My car starts shaking after about 80 km/hr and seems to be getting worse. I
currently need new tires and they don't match because they got slashed and
didn't replace them with new ones but I don't hink that's just it. Not
sure though. What happens is the cars sways a bit but mostly the steering
wheel starts shaking like crazy and i don'r want to drive it over 80. Has
this happened to any of you before and any ideas what might be wrong?

Sure sounds like tires to me. Why don't you think it's tires?

Here's an idea: You need new tires, so get new tires. That
will tell you if it's tires or not. The next guess is a bent
wheel. If it's a bent wheel, the guy balancing the new tires
will tell you.
