Bad joint in the driveshaft can also cause this. You can usually tell if it's a joint if you feel the vibration in the "seat of your pants"

1. Get the tires aligned up.
2. Get the wheel balanced ( do see that sometime the tires due to heat get out of shape, if after balancing up the tires still the problem remains , then get it balanced again, if the balancing is out , then get the wheels or rims of the Tyre's checked up)
3. IF NONE OF THE ABOVE SOLVES THE PROBLEM:
Ur clutch and pressure plate are out , that means need replacement. Most of the vibration if not from Tyre's come from pressure plates, which are above the clutch plate. And if that does comes out to be the problem get both the pressure and the clutch plate changed.
this would be expensive
Problem Solved.
Best of luck, Hope it doesn't get to the no 3.

along with alignments or something loose or bald spots on the tire-it could also be a pulled belt in your tire-you can get a brand new tire and the belt can break or pull in it-this will make your tire have a lil bit of a raised area that will make it not perfectly round anymore and will cause a vibration or a shimmy-also ever curbed your wheel or hit any potholes hard-if you bend your rim just a lil bit it will ride like a tire is out of balance-another thing to check beleive it or not is just take it to a carwash and spray the wheels off on the inside-if you get a lil bit of mud or clay stuck to your rim it will also throw it off balance because it is adding weight to one side of the tire-hope it is just a wheel balance that fell off because a bent rim is expensive to replace -i priced mine from the dealership 2 yrs ago and they wanted $500 for a 16 inch wheel for a 99 grand am(ya woulda thought for that much that i wouldve had a bently on 20s lol)but i hope this helps ya and i hope its a quick easy fix for ya-all the things ive said will happen thruogh your driving speed and not at low sppeeds too(35-65 and even faster)

Vibration at highway speed is almost always due to a tire being out of balance. If possible, get your tires spin balanced... that is the most accurate type of balancing.

Wheel balancing issues. If you feel the vibration through the steering wheel it is normally the front wheels out of balance, if through your butt the rear wheels.
Alternatively, much less common but also the cause of vibration is a bad transmission misalignment.

Your car is out of alignment. As well one or more of your rims could have lost the balancing metal that they attach to the rim so the tires are perfectly balanced.

It can be a number of things from loose lug studs to a bad tie rod. if you are not comfortable with talking to a mechanic go to the older guys from 45 to 85 years old for they are the true mechanics through the most recent evelution of vehicles. most of them learned to fix their own vehicles. so have i but i am still learning at the age of 29, even after i built my 1st vehicle at the age 14 on my own.

Along with the other responses, it could also be a bald spot on the treads of one of the tires.

your car is probably given to you in 2000, but made in 1972. i think

maybe your tire needs balancing or a bent wheel
