wheel / tire vibration

Hey.......sorry if this has been repeated elsewhere (search function is hosed)............I took my '03 Max long distance and noticed a vibration at all speeds above 60..........tire, wheel, hard to tell..........lessens as speed lowers, increases vice versa..............these tires are original to the car when bought new...........about 30,000 miles on it.........any ideas, experiences are welcome...............thanks............jl

I'm not braking when the vibration happens...........just cruising on the interstate above 60 mph.................I'm thinking of going to a Discount Tire kind of place versus going to the dealer...........any experiences either way.............I'm still in warranty but doubt this would qualify......................Thanks, jl

if balancing your tires does not help, you might have an alignment problem.
