vibrations at 75+

If the vibration did not occur before you got new tires, then you should get replacement tires because those tires are probably not round. I've had bad experiences with the Falken Tires that caused vibrations. Once I switched to Michelins, the vibrations went away.

whats your current wheel/tire and suspension set up? 90% of vibrations with steering wheel is tire balance or uneven wear. any shake in the pedals? what about when braking?

But, your problem could be contributed to like others said, balancing and/or alignment, and or bent rim, and/or wheel hub...otherwise, I would look at the tires since you had this vibration issue after you got these tires.
My Falkens did start vibration at high speed after a couple of months...the first few months the tires were fine. You can even see others having the same complaint at highway speeds when you search on Google. The only reason I bought the Falkens because they were extremely cheap- around $300 less than Michelins, but now I realize you get what you pay for. I would either go for Bridgestone Turanza with Serenity or Michelin MXM4 for tires...right now I have the Goodyear Eagle GT tires on my G35x and it has been good too, but my next tire would be Michelin MXM4.

Try a different shop, I had balance issues and I brought it back to the tire store 3 times and never got it fixed. I finally gave up an went to an alignment shop with a Hunter road force machine and a technician that new how to use it and they fixed all my issues. They were also able to tell right away that the tires hadn't been properly balanced by the old shop.

Usually, in my experience, the shaking is either due to the tires being out of round or rim is dented, or the wheel is out of balance/alignment. If you checked all of them, then it is most likely the tire is out of round.
After buying Falkens, I know now to stick with the best brands such as Michelin, Bridgestone, or Goodyear (depending on which tire.)

I need to replace my Endlinks, Bushings and Shocks/Struts. I have the sameeeee issues.
My car has 77K..i was thinking about replacing shocks as well. But i don't think that's my issue since i feel it in seats and worse downhills.
But i do think my compression bushings are cracked..that can't be helping things
More and more people having this issue..hmmm
