seconded
when i bought my alero, past 120 the car would shake, then past 130 my trac off light went on, and wouldn't turn off till i turned off and turned the car back on. it wasn't drivable past 130. after i got my tires balanced the car reached 170 without any wobbles and shakes, felt pretty solid actually.
and having round tires help. i know that sounds dumb, but since i ripped a few ebrakes on pacement my tires are a little flat on one spot, now it had issues going past 130 again

I had to get outer tie rod ends and an alignment to stop my shake.

well if you get new tires most of the time free, but a vague guess is 15-30 a wheel...maybe

*If you trust them*, a Wal-Mart supercenter with the Tire and Lube services will balance your tires for $5 USD each. Or you can do a life-time balance for $7.50. They do rotations and what not as well for just as cheap. It's at least worth checking out.
Turns out, however, they won't mount a new tire on a rim with a damaged lip though because it's "too dangerous".
