Default vibration

My blazers been vibrating for a couple of weeks but today on the way home. It got much worse. Every time i let go of the wheel it veers right pretty hard. When driving i have to pull the steering wheel to the left the whole time to make sure it doesn't veer off to the right.

I'm pretty sure it veers right because the alignment is really out of wack. But i cant figure out what is causing the vibrating. I checked the lug nuts, they are all tight, my wheel weights are still on and i dont have a bent rim (as far as i could tell). When i tug on the tires, there is no give. I have some pretty new tires on there and my tires have the proper amount of air in them with no leak.

I cant think of anything that would cause the vibration. Any help would be very appreciated.

Any abnormal wear on the tires? A bad alignment can cause uneven wear on the tires which can cause a vibration.

the only thing i can see is at the shoulder of the tire. There is quite a bit of cracks

If it has only been a couple of weeks there may not be noticeable wear on the tire.

You certainly need an alignment. You most probably need to replace some front end parts as well.

turns out that i just needed new tires. the shop said that my tires were deteriorating from the inside even though the outside they looked in very good shape. He asked if i hit any big pot holes that i could remember, i said no. But i live on a dirt road. And he said that, that is most likely the reason for the damage to the inside of the tires.

I asked him if he did an alignment and he said that i didn't need one.

Now my baby is running like a champ again lol
