Default Bad vibration while driving

My car vibrates really bad when I'm driving not sure what it is I bought new tires and had them balance. I had rims checked to make sure they're not bent I live in South Florida so it gets really hot and my car is parked most of the time could that have something to do with it? I'm changing my rotors tomorrow but the vibration started before the rotor went bad .... Please comment

Have your inner and outer tie rods inspected . If too much play they will cause vibration

if the tires are out of balance you will get the vibration usually around 50-75 mph. id have them checked just in case, some shops will balance them but not 100% they will get close thinking you wont notice or just being lazy. also the car can throw a weight while driving and cause it to be off balance. have the alignment checked i case pot holes or hitting a curb/parking stub has moved it out of speck. last but not least check your wheel bearings had one of those go bad and they vibrate and make a horrible noise while driving.

Does the car vibrate when you press the breaks?
