Front end shakes

Front end shakes
I recently purchased new tires, had new bushings, tire rods, ball joints, upper and lower bushing installed, and an alignment. I get a shake whenever Im going about 60 mph. I had the tires re balances, and rotated, no change.
Can it be the alignment?

The tires could also be out of round. Just because they are new doesn't mean they are true. I did buy tires once and had the same problem and they turned out to be bad.

I have run into more tire issues then anything else.. I read an article that some tire manufactures use the molds too long and the belts shift in new tires...
On my work 2001 3500 truck, I have used General Grabbers with no balance weights and no issues.. Firestone destination LE-2 tires are also decent handling tires but the belts start to shift and need to be rotated..
Try to find tires manufactured in the US or Canada..
I had a set of West Lake tires a few years ago, even thought they were 130 speed rated, they were total crap from the first mile on.. I'll never buy Asian tires again!!
