Default pulsating back again

so a few weeks back i thought i solved my tire pulsating sound by filling it with the right air pressure. but i just noticed it does it again, my car around 40 mph will start this kinda pulsating sound sounding like it comes from the front right of the car, on the highway today its bad but around 80 mph the wheel and what seems like the whole car starts to shake abit then a little faster it starts to slow down... when im slowing to a stop it makes a slow pulsating sound... I had some people tell me it was my tires needed to be rotated... some said warped brake rotor what do you guys think?

1) check the tire for proper pressure (there is a sticker on the driver door with general car info)
2) jack the car and check for wheel bearing play
3) remove the tire and check if everything is tight
4) last alignment?
5) wrong directional tires?

the bottom line is that you have to get your hands dirty one way or another

First thing I would do is to make sure its balanced correctly.

yes like to3o saud make sure the tire (if it's a directional tire) is oing the right way. There will be arrows or something to show the direction its supposed to rotate. If everything he said comes clean, then you might have a shifted belt in the tire and its junk.
