steering wheel shake/ vibration 65 mph and over. Had tires rotated and balanced. Any suggestions to get rid of shake?

Did your wheels get road force balanced or standard?

Also there is a heavier steering wheel to help with this. I’m having mine installed in a few weeks.

Likely need “road force balance” and/or alignment

A good alignment is key along with the road force balance.
Both of these made huge improvements in my shaky wheel!

So... I just went through this. I was heading out of town last weekend and swapped the rear tire to the front on the passenger side (tread getting low, a bit more tread on the rear so wanted that for conserve mode)

Pretty bad vibration at 50mph+. It calmed down around 60 or 65mph, and gets substantially worse at 80+. My solution was going whole hog in all-purpose from a red light. That calmed the vibration down a *LOT*

I'm thinking the rear is wearing tires unevenly over time (the suspect tire came from a really "squeeky suspension side" i'm going in for in November). You move them to the front and feel the uneven tread depth. You're wearing off the difference with some "spirited" accelerations.

I'm actually heading out to get a new set of 4 mounted this evening in around an hour. I threw the suspect tire on a bubble level and it's definitely no longer balanced after 38k miles.
