car shaking around 60 mph

My car starts to shake around 60 mph .I bought new tires and i put them in the back ,the tires i had on the back i moved to the front because they were 215 and the new ones are 225, the old tires are only couple of months old so its not them. Its a weird vibration of the car that i cant even tell if its from the back or front . all the wheels are balanced . anyone has any idea what else can cause this ?

Have the balance checked again, all four tires. Find a shop that has a road force balance machne. You can google road force and put your location into the web site. It will tell you what shops near you have that balance machine.

Check the tire pressures. Then balance.
Why are you running 225 in the back and 215 in the front? Shouldnt it be the other way around...

this is by far the stupidest I am a gangsta comment I have ever read....
A wheel:is a circular device that is capable of rotating on its axis, facilitating movement or transportation or performing labour in machines.
Rim:the upper or outer edge of any object, typically some thing circular or approximately circular.

I would say take your wheels off and check for any loose items you may find.

Seriously, we all know what "RIMS" refers to when used on an automotive forum.

I would suggest after checking the balance (that'll also tell you if any rims are bent or whatever), check the wheel bearings.

Ps...by "rims" I mean the upper or outer edge of any object, typically some thing circular or approximately circular.
