car shakes between 60-70mph??

My car runs totally perfect if it is below 60mph or above 70mph but anything within that range, my car would shake like crazy. I don't know what the problem could be. I have checked my tires to see if they're worn out or not but they seem to be in pretty good shape. Like I said the car runs very well, and there's no problem whatsoever, its just that it shakes within that range and it's getting me frustrated. Any help would be gladly appreciated.

thanks,
thien phan

That could be balancing as well. Unless yours was bent. Though I have to say that one of my wheels on my DD is slightly out of round, but it's balanced to counter and it's extremely stable.

Have them balanced, and check for bent rims. You can balance a bent rim, too, so just because it is in balance doesn't mean it's not bent.
