Do the shimmy/vibrations get worse when accelerating or under braking? Is the shimmy still there while coasting? Has anyone checked your halfshafts for free play? You can still balance a bent wheel. I just really doubt it is the tires. That's all.

heuer, well you were right. It wasn't the tires. The vibration does get worse at high speed braking. Once in a while it's worse upon acceleration, but not always. It seems that uphill acceleration makes it worse, but again...not consistently.

The shimmy is now much worse and absolutely there while coasting and braking, but I didn't notice it during acceleration last night after I got the new tires and alignment, but that was just 15 minutes of driving.
