E320 - still vibrating after new tires ...

Just had two Michelin MXV4 installed in the front, balanced/aligned. I was feeling vibrating through my feet on the floor board... Rear tires? They still have decent thread, but didn't have them balanced...

Not sure if the rear tires would make the car feel this way? Or do I have a more serious problem ('95 107K miles and haven't hit any potholes) ??

The easy solution is change the rear tires, but damn that's another $240-$250 . The front tires still had thread , so its not like I absolutely needed new tires.

Warped disc in the front? Who knows.... I don't want to start changing things without a plan.... the beatiful ride has been feeling like my g/f's Ford Focus

[edit] So the car now has 3 MXV4 's and one Continental in the back, if that makes a difference...

Could be a bad flex disc or center support bearing.

....and when you search for flex disc, also trying a search by spelling it "disk". I noticed people spell it both ways.

Do you have any records of the flex disc being replaced?
