Default 94 accord vibration

I have a 1994 honda accord lx. I purchased Goodyear triple treads last september from sams club. Since

then I have gone to 5 different sams clubs for re-balancing/rotation. I also took the car to an independent

shop for balancing. But nothing has helped, as when I speed up to about 55 mph I starting recieving

vibration. The odd thing is I dont feel it as much at about 75 mph. now if I am driving on flat land then its

not as bad, but if I'm going up a mountain on the interstate and have to press in the accelerator more its

extremely bad. Everytime I've gone to get rebalanced they have told me the tires were out of balance.

When I went to the independent shop they told me they saw no mechanical issues in terms of bearings and

such. I am at a loss at what it could be, something tells me its my wheels, they arent bent or anything but

may not be compatible with these tires? please help me!

PS the tire size is 195/70/15

try this

swap front to back and see if it makes any difference. If it does, your problem is with your tires. If it does not, the problem is with your suspension and the first thing I would check is your lower ball joints......

have you ever gotten into an accident? if the frame of the car was bent or fucked up, that could be it. idk, sorry, thats more of a question than any real help.

no frame damage on car I know that for sure, nor any wrecks, this problem has been happening ever since I bought the tires and no one can figure out why I get vibration. I had a smoother ride and no vibration with dunlops but no traction . no I have traction and a rough ride lol. Everytime I go back to get re-balance they tell me whoever balances the tires messed up. But nothing has worked so far
