Check wheel bearings.. Check Rear Tie Rod Ends for "loosness"

Did the vibration BEGIN when the new tires were put on?

Did you have them Road Force Balanced?

from the title of this thread, I was expecting something different

If the vibration is at a certain speed but less noticeable at an even higher speed, it could be a minor bend in a wheel or the new tires need to be road force balanced.

I had the exact same thing and it was a bad wheel bearing. Try seeing if it goes away or gets louder in left or right turns, that way you can isolation which side of the car has the issue.

Wheels bearings, diff carrier bearings, torque tube bearings, torque tube coupler(s), inner/outer tie rods, warped wheel, wheel out of balance.
