Lots of causes of vibrations. You need to check them one at a time:
1. Is the vibration more noticeable in the steering wheel or floor (front or rear)?
2. Even before checking tires for balance, you need to check them for RUN-0UT. If over .035" fix it-- even a perfectly balances egg-- well, it rolls like an egg.
3. Then balance the tires. On front, best to balance on the rig.
4. After tires have been eliminated as the cause, check U joints and drive shaft alignment.
