Add a check of the tyres for faults in the walls. Had this problem many years ago - Avons - now I always fit Michelin.

I hate vibration too and my propshaft needed replacement because it hadn't been regularly greased (my fault at the time).

This all on an SP 250 but applies to a saloon as well.

It's a cause which is common yet difficult to discover as wheel balancing doesn't pinpoint it.
