Re: car shakes after 60+
Check your lugs, it's possible that they aren't tight enough form when you switched wheels. Also, my buddy was talking to me about this the other day and he had to replace his tie rods and it eliminated the issue.
If you're local try going to Merchants tire & for $20 the do a vehicle evaluation, might be able to tell you what's wrong.
Hope this helped.

Re: car shakes after 60+
Just throwing this out there....but, 3 sets of wheels and 2 of them caused a shake............hmm...........I'm going for tire out of balance or a busted belt. Slapping on different tires can't cause a suspension problem just by tightening the lugs. I'm saying there's something amiss with the tire/wheel combo. If they're balanced, then check for suspension problems. Just sounded funny that you didn't get the shake from one of the sets of wheels. Oh well, hope this might help.

check the wheels for a busted belt, or them being off balance. if everything checks out there, then consider tie rod ends, and then axles. are your lugs tight or tq'd to spec?

Re: car shakes after 60+
just puttin my info in... start with the wheels make sure no flat spots or uneven wear on the tread, but if i was to guess check everything again torque the wheels to 80lbs, or better yet try doing tire rotation. hope this helps
