Default Vibration - Tires?

I have an 2005 H2 and just had some 22" Rockstar with 35" Interco Truxs tires put on and i had vibration at about 55mph. I had the alignment done and was told the the toe rods, pitman arm and idler replaced. So i had it all replaced with MOOG replacements. Now i continue to have vibration at 65mph. Do these tires have inherent vibration issues? The vibration seems to be in the steering and entire vehicle. SHould i change out the stock suspension, steering stabilzer? Any help would be appreciated.

as an update, i am running Interco Trxus STS radial. 35x12.5" on 22" rims. I went to 4 Wheel Parts and they were telling me these tires are not good on the road and tried to sell me some Toyo's. Anyone have experience with these?

Default Toyo

I run 35/12.50/20 Toyo Open Country tires. They ride smooth right on up into the 90mph range. They do 'sing' a nice song at highway speeds. Check your wheel bearings. A month after I did wheel/tire swap I noticed a slight vibration in the steering wheel. Left front bearing had some play. Changed both sides and no more vibes. It doesnt take much bearing wear to translate into crazy shimmies and vibrations.

I double checked my hub by shaking the rim at the 12 and 6 oclock position and no play. I got them balanced again and they said i may need to get hubcentric rings????? ANyways, i remeber that the OEM rims would fit snug on the hub before installing the lug nuts, and the aftermarket rims didn't. I figure that the taper surface of rim holes would center the wheel on the car but i guess not. Have you guys had problem with this????

Problem solved. After 5 times at a major tire company, i went to another tire company and they balanced them properly with less weights...about 4oz per tire.
