When you report that this happened over time, I would point to bad tires. They are probably not wearing round. I’ve said it here before, you could put a square tire and wheel on a balancer, off the car, and you could balance it perfectly, but you cannot balance out an out-of-round tire once it hits the road. I’ve had to drive up to three years with a vibration that a tire change cured INSTANTLY.
The only possible alternative is to find an old school shop that has a portable wheel balancer that balances on the vehicle. This gets all the rotating parts involved. But it may be hard to find. And would do little for an oval tire.

Mine developed a shimmy at 60mph overnite. Car came in contact with nothing but pavement. I swapped sides with the front tires and noticed the wheel weights missing on one wheel. Drove it, with the shimmy still to get balanced. Drives like new again. Motivos with 20k miles.

Have them replace the front tires under warranty and rebalance.

I've had a vibration around 65 MPH for about 4 months now. Sometimes it's worse, especially if I get on a highway soon after starting the car for the day. I've been to 2 different Discount Tire places for balancing and it helped slightly both times but vibration is still there.
The interesting thing is I also have the Nitto Motivos that others have mentioned here too. They have about 10,000 miles on them. I really think my vibration is a tire issue because the vibration really started after the car sat for about 3 weeks. The tires must have flat-spotted from the car sitting and I don't think the tires have recovered from that since then. I never hit a curb, pothole, or anything like that. I check my tire pressure often too. I've never been impressed with the Motivos anyways. I remember the car swaying more in turns after I removed the Pirellis and installed the Motivos. Tire pressure was same. The sidewall stiffness is noticeably less on the Motivos (probably because they're an all-season tire compared to the Pirelli's Summer performance status).
