I have a '93 GS300 with a bad vibration from 70-80MPH. It doesn't need balancing cause the rims and tires are brand new. Just got an alignment. Is it the tires? Nitto NT555. or is there something else wrong with it? or is this normal? Tires are 245/35/19. Thanks.

Check and see if your centering rings were installed or the correct size.

Try rebalancing the tires with the Hunter balancing machine that has the roller. It presses against the tire and measures the contact force . Regular balancing machines can't detect some kinds of inbalances of the wheel/tire.
