Tires or shocks?

I replaced my shocks with a set of Bilstiens when my tires original tires were about 80% gone. I've now replaced my tires with Michelins. Problem, I've got a little vibration at ~60 to 75 mph. Has anybody else experienced this ride quality with Bilstiens? I don't know if the rear tires are a little out of balance or I'm thinking the Bilstiens are a little to stiff for soft ride quality. The truck rode great with the original equpment. Commments? Thanks.

I put on a set of Bilsteins about 8 months ago and have had no problems at any speed. I would suspect one of your tires is a little bit out of balance. Look and see if you have one tire that has a whole lot more balance weight than the others. If it does make sure the wheel is clean,no big glogs of mud or grease. Have balance rechecked.
