Default Slight vibration at 70 mph

My 2004 RX 330 has a vibration at 70-80 mph. It has all new tires from the Lexus dealer and have been rotated and balanced. It also had warped front rotors which have been replaced my the dealer with new pads at 30K miles. Initially, it did seem to improve the vibration. I now still have a fine vibration at high speed. Anyone has similar problems? I bought it as a CPO with 14K, now has 42K on the odometer.

check your tires for thread separation.

My former vehicle had a vibration that I couldn't figure out. I looked at the tires and they looked fine.

However, I didn't look at the inside wall of the tires. Sure enough, there was a buldge "hiding" on the inside wall of my left rear tire, which was covered by my tire warranty.

Good catch on that bulge.....every 6 months I clean my tires....coincidental to my rotation schedule...inspect and clean.
