something unbalanced but stops when pressing brakes
Ok so this just happen recently after a little bit of driving off road. Just a farm road really.
So at slow speeds 10 mph or slower there is no issue. Beyond that and it seems like my wheels are unbalanced.
Now what I find odd is once I brake it stops. So I tried pressing the brakes and moving at various speeds. 10 20 30 40 50 60. Pressing the brakes just slightly not enough to stop the vehicle while still pressing the gas. When I did that it stopped drove fine. Once I let off brakes it was crap again.
What's wrong????

Wow I feel stupid. I checked the lugs prior to driving on the farm roads since I got new wheels and tires a few weeks ago. Then I drove the road. Then I got the problem.
So I just checked the lugs again just now and my drivers side wheel I made at least 3 full turns on each lug. The passenger a half turn. The rear were still tight.
So what causes the lugs to back off?

Leo, Did you have your tires serviced At Precision Tire? The reason I ask is I had a slow leaker fixed there and then left for a trip to California. Made it to Roseburgh Oregon and the Driver's side rear wheel exited the Jeep. They hadn't tightened the lug nuts properly. I normally always re-torque mine myself but, this one time I left town right after the service.
