Is anyone having these tire issues?

I have this vibration coming from my front end when i get to speeds 50mph and higher. The dealership told me it was my tires. I just bought the car and the tread on the tires is good, so if indeed this is the tires can anyone suggest what kind of tires i should get in the future? And is anyone else out there having this issue?

My car does that a little bit too. I had chalked it up to the wheels needing balancing since it didn't do that vibration at all when I first bought the new tires(which was about 4K miles ago). I figure I probably lost a weight on one of my wheels or something.

Do you park your car for long periods of time without driving it? Maybe you have a flat spot on one or more of your tires.

Check the inside of the rims for true. These rims are wide and a pot hole or other things in the road can bend them VERY easy. My OEM 18" sport rims were ALL bent by the time I got my M45 rims and now two of them are bent.
