Vibration @ 55mph + is really driving me nutz now....

So i took my parents to the airport the other day in the benz and damn, eveyrone that gets in my car says the same thing..... what's all the rumbling vibration. Is this seriously just the tires???? It's no fun driving down the pkwy or turnpike or any major interstate with this constant vibration. Could it very well be a tire issue??? It has done it since the day i've gotten the car with 26,000 miles on it.

Have the Tires Inspected..they MAY be out of round and or seperating
Also have the Tires Balanced ON the Car..This Helps a LOT when the Whole corner is spun balanced..The Shop I Use Trues the tire then refills the tire with Nitrogen..and Spin Balances the tire/rim on the car..

I had the same problem. I was told by the tech. that I had snow tires on my car. The dealer sold it to me this way. I had no idea. Once the tires were replaced, the car drove fine.
