At around 70mph + . My gear stick shakes and my steering wheel shakes. I just replaced my tires and they told me I need an alignment because of the inside wear. I did the alignment and the wheel / stick is still shaking .

My car only has 60K miles

The wheel/stick shakes when driving so I ruled out the rotors since it is the same for driving as it is for braking.

Any suggestions?

I believe you need balance your wheels again, looks like whoever installed your tires doesn't know how to balance them correctly.
From my own experience, I know that when the shifter shakes there is a problem with the rear wheels, when the steering wheel shakes there is a problem with the front wheels.

I will have it checked later today and let you know.

wheni got my car, the inner rims were bent and this happened to me... not only did everything shake, but so did the brake pedal, so this may be it...
it was like 300 to fix, and all they had to do was replace the inner rim because it was bent,.

I had the same problem after getting brand new tires all around. I search the clublexus forum and everybody is agreeing that the best tire balance machine to use is made by Hunter. Locate a shop that has hunter machine for tire balancing and give this a try. It looks like both your front and rear tires are out of balance, unbalanced front tires will shake the steering while the rear ones will make the gear to shake.

It cost me $15 per wheel to do the balancing where other places charge $5 per wheel but $15 was money well spent for my case.

My tires are only about 2 monthes old. I bought them from discount tire and they balanced my tires. I watched them and all of them came back to zero. I also had the alignment done too. The alignment was off but the stick and steering wheel shakes but not as much. The faster I go the more it shakes. It really doesn't start to shake until I hit around 70MPH.

Mine had the same issues.
