I'm having the same problem, although it starts at about 50. My guess is that they're not balanced properly.

Typcially if it just started after new tires are put on, they are unbalanced. Especially if at and above 70 mph.

I agree as well. Take it back where you had them installed and have them fix it.

Nearly has to be a balancing problem.

Check out the link above. I put this in my Bronco with 35/12.5/15, which are hard to balance. Left the tire store and ran it up to 75 mph and it drove great. This really works good.

The only simple thing is that you need wheel balancing. Else everything is fine it looks like
