Is it really a vibration or is it the increased road feel caused by a low profile tire on an increased wheel size.The original size on your car should have been 185/65-14. Now you are probably using a 205/40-17. Your old tire had 4.75 inches of rubber between the wheel and the road your new combination gives you 3.25 inches of rubber from the wheel to the road.
The decrease in rubber will make you be able to feel every bump and crack in the road more, it may be felt in the steering wheel. Especially if struts, ball joints or tie rods have any wear in them which would come with age or mileage. An alignment shop will be able to tell you if you have any of these problems. I would highly recommend an alignment when upgrading tires anyway.

Try another tire shop you may have defective tires, up-sized wheels also are easier to warp.

the problem most likly is bad motor mountsRenault Clio (2003) Model - Under Revving while Idle?
after a while the mounts that hold the engine in place crack or break since they are made out of rubber
so when your running fast the motor creates high torque and makes the vehicle shake a little
double check to make sure its not just mud or something stuck to the rim
also check your tires for bumps

Sounds like either a bad tierod end or bad ball joint. Either could cause it. the larger tires if they are larger than stock could amplify it making it noticeable now. You can take it to a front end alignment shop and they will check it out or u can do it yourself. Not that hard. But if either is changed you will definitely need a front end alignment afterwards. good luckFord Focus, Dodge Neon, Kia Rio, or Chevy Malibu...Which one is more reliable!!?

it sounds like the tires themselves are separating in the tread (belt tread). have the tires rotated and if the vibration goes away or isn't as bad, then you know you need tires.More Questions & Answers ...
