I have the same problem on a Prius 2013 which is new. I've had it to the dealer many times. Front tires were replaced. Tires were balanced several times. Toyota says this is normal. I had a 2008 Prius which did not have this problem. No way is this normal to have the car vibrate and shudder between 60 & 70. Above 70 it smooths out. I like to drive at 65 and that is where the vibration is the worst. I can feel it in the steering wheel, the seat and the floor. My GPS on the dash shakes back and forth

SOURCE: oscillating vibration around 60-70 mph in 6th gear

sounds like a cv joint to me. That is what usually occurs when one is showing wear. C.V joints usually wear out between 80,000 and 120,000 k.m.

SOURCE: car doesnt seem to vibrate much at 20-30 MPH but

Check the wheel for balance and improper tread wear. If you did not hit anything...like a pot holes recently, you may find it is just a defective/damaged tire. Hard to say at this point.

SOURCE: Tire Vibration

I had the same problem. Vibrations start around 40mph, up through 60 . seems to be ok when I am off the accelerator. The problem was not dirty ETM rather a busted passenger side cv boot and axle. Fixed it and the problem is gone. The part from Volvo its expensive. Over $500. But OEM part can be had for less than $200. I have a 2003 s60 T5.

SOURCE: what would cause my ford explorer to have a vibration come and go while driving between 60 and 70

This vibration can be caused by a number of things, may be in the tires or in the front end or in the drive train, ( transmission,transfer case or the diffirental). I would start with the basics, make sure all tire pressures are equal and tire balancing is good.
If there is still a vibration at 60-70 then i would have the front end checked.Check for worn or loose ball joints or worn tie rod ends and other steering suspension components.

I have a 2002 Escalade which vibrates after 60 mph until above 85 at which speed vibration stops. I have replaced shocks, struts, almost all front end suspension parts including rods and control arms. I...

Its possible you have a damaged wheel. A wheel could have been damaged/warped when the first set of tires were replaced. Spin balancing machines "balance" the tires at about 30 mph. Generally that covers things up to 60 or 70 mph on the road.
You may need to have the wheels checked with a gauge to see if any are warped or bent.
Make sure the vibration is not affected by engine torque or other factors. Does it matter if you are coasting at 70 mph or pulling, etc.
A miss-fire in the engine could be transported thru the passenger compartment and cause the same effect, but the check engine light should come on.
If the problem started right after the new tires, I would look at the wheels first.

Poor gas mileage on my 1993 dodge caravan

If you want fuel economy then dump this beast and buy a nice peugeot or citreon picasso diesel manual then you will get around 30 mpg around town and anything up to 70 mpg on a run ,try paying our fuel prices and this nice typical american petrol gas burner would be delegated to the classic car sunday drive out like my jag with its 4lt engine i can only afford to take it out once a month or so on a jaguar club run around ,other than that its my ford diesel manual escort with its 0 to 60 in 15 minutes but it only uses one tank of fuel a month.

I have front end vibration that is not caused by alignment. New tires on all four wheels but still have alot of front end vibration. Car is a 2004 Hyundai Tiburon. this information is helpful but not...

Hope I can help...but you have conflicting symptoms. IE... front end vibration but no shimmy in steering wheel?
Let me tell you this: If you feel the vibration when cruising(no brake & not accellerating) @ 60-70 mph; then 95% of the time it is in the tire/wheel/balance combination. (I know you said they were new but could still be out-of-round)
