someone also asked if this vibration has always been there, or if has just started. over the 35K miles ive driven in the past year, this has only begun to become noticable tot he point of annoyance within the past 5K miles... when I bought the car it didnt vibrate at all.

Some other facts that might be of value:
Tires are michelin X radials (wanted MXV4's, but I needed tires urgently and the only way to get the MXV4's was to order them and id have to wait) They were purchased around 151K miles. Religiously rotated & balanced every 5K miles. Car now has 184K miles. A little bit more than 1/4 of the tread remains except for the following:

Driver side Rear tire is relatively new, was replaced at 181K miles due to a irreparable puncture.

Transmission & Engine mounts new, engine shocks new, and steering shcok has about 20K miles on it (replaced with front end rebuild).

Cheers!
