I was a service writer at a national brand auto repair/tire shop. You can diagnose almost any vibration very simply.
If the vibration occurs within a certain speed range (for example, starts vibrating at 55 mph and stops at 70) it is most likely a balance issue, either in the tire or the wheel.
If the vibration is consistently present and increases frequency with speed, it is most likely a tire out of round. It could also be a loose or missing lug nut.
If you feel the vibration in the steering wheel, it is a problem in the front tires/wheels, if you feel it in your seat, it is with the rear tires/wheels.
I think most of these vibration issues are tires most of the time.
