Default Car Shaking

So i take my car in yesterday to get a flat tire fixed...not a big deal. So today i head out to work and as soon as increase the speed past 70ish(km) the car has alittle shake then once it hits 100 it shakes pretty good. I just got the alignment done a few months ago and also replaced the struts...could it potentially be the tire just needs to be re-balanced or should i put looking for something else?

im pretty sure they balanced them.. but theres ways to not do it properly or good...lol. so they probably just did a crappy balancing job.. or sometimes the tire has to take a "getting used to" but that usually results in a pull.. are u getting a pull at all?? shaking usually=balance problem..

well if the car wasnt shaking before the flat repair.... best bet is that they did not rebalance them. (assuming it wasnt shaking before)
