james - sounds like you threw a weight and need to get your tires rebalanced.  That is usually the case when you get a shake at a specific MPH.

Ming - get your front brake rotors resurfaced - they are probably warped.  That causes a shake when braking.

Depends - many shops will do a re-balance for free if you bought/installed the tires there. &nbsp;If not, I don't really know - I'd guess $25? &nbsp;At any rate, it's not too pricey - just call around. &nbsp;You can also get a lifetime balance and rotation from shops for pretty cheap so you don't have to play rotate every few months.

What speed rating are your tires? &nbsp;I had the same problem with 205/55R16 T rated tires, when I put some H's on my car the vibrations stopped.

When you put the new tires on, they had to be remounted and balanced. &nbsp;That more likely stopped the vibration.

When was the last time your checked your brakes. &nbsp;Nissan rotors are known to warp very easily. &nbsp;You made just need to get your rotors re-surfaced, to get rid of any imperfections. &nbsp;My steering wheels shakes like a mutha, and I'm pretty sure I need a brake job. &nbsp;So I&quot;m gonna get some cross-drilled Brembo rotors front and back, and Axxis metal masters, or some other form of metal or carbon based pads. &nbsp;Hopefully that does the trick....we'll see.
