How old are your tires? New enough to warranty? I have gotten good support in such a case from my Toyo re-seller once. Especially if you show how you have been trying to solve it. Or old enough to just replace?

My buddy changed tires around August and I bought the car from him in end of September. didn't drive the car much but did notice a slight vibration at first. Thought it was just bad balancing from newly replacing tires. Stored the car for the winter. I've had them rebalanced and road force balanced a few times. Tires are bridgestones and probably have about 1500-2000 miles on them so still plenty of tread. Problem is I think they were bought so long ago that warranty wouldn't cover it.

do me a favor and lift the rear, so the tire is of the ground - put one hand at 9 oclock and another hand on 3 oclock and move left to right, put your hand on 12 oclock and 6 oclock and move it up and down, see if have any movement, maybe control arm/s/busings are busted/, should be no movement.

it could be several things, tires, rims, busted bushings, maybe trans is making vibrations or axles. could be busted shock/s

I'm sure alignment is fine, otherwise usually it happens around 60mph's

also best bet would be to borrow 2 rear wheels from a friend and test it. Tires could be bad, do to age, maybe at one point car was for several months.

TheMotor1 is infamous around these parts
Not too revive an old thread, but I'm having a similar issue. 99 C2. Vibration over 70mph. I've swapped another set of 4 wheels and tires and the vibration stayed with the car, so i was able to eliminate wheels/tires all together as a cause. Any thoughts?
