could 1 of your rims be out of round, or bent? Do you feel any kind of roughness in or thru the steering wheel? You might have a bad motor mount. Do you really feel the vibration when accelerating, or just cruising over 50? Check your cv joints.....

Had same problem on a new set of tires one month ago. Finally had a road force balance done and they found one of the new tires out of spec. Tire Rack took the bad one back, sent me a new one and paid for the balance and remounting. All this after I had a new drive shaft center bearing installed. Drives good now at all speeds. I will soon be changing my wheel bearings, and u joints just because.

i did not take the bolt out of the bottom of the shock let on the rear end
