vibration
On my prior vibration problem, I took the advise of new tires. Well new tires did not help. Matter of fact i think it made it worse. Could alignment have anything to do with my small vibration problem. This trial and error is getting expensive.

New wheels/tires should not increase a vibration, unless if they are not balanced well...I would theorize
Can't say for sure if an Alignment is the culprit, but it can't hurt spending $100 or so to have it professionally aligned, can only help (can research the lifetime alignment from Firestone...)

Hmmm. Can you re-describe the characteristics ? What's going on

Ok, I see.
Yeah I think you should, if the vibration increased - that's not right. Vibe in the seat points to tires, as this effects the entire chassis.
If the vibration remains afterwards, I'd take it to a trusted Tuner or Mechanic - to me it's hard to diag when it could be many things (like the Torque Tube perhaps).
But get the set rebalanced 1st, from a GOOD Tire shop - one that uses what they call Road Force Balancing (I.e Discount Tire). Then go from there...you'll be able to tell how far off the wheel/tire package is by the amount/number of weights they have to install on the set
