I have similar symptoms. The vibes themselves are almost certainly tire related, but why are the tires wearing badly is the question.
My tires have been "chopping" for 4 years, and I am not 100% sure why. I have replaced almost all the suspension components up front, but I am not sure as of now if that has solved the problem. I'm afraid to buy new tires (again) only to find out that the cause of the tire wear is still there.
I also have a strange situation where the steering wheel wants to jerk to the inside of a turn when going fast. Highway on/off ramps are when it happens most.
When I rotate the tires, the jerking problem tends to increase, but the tire vibrations tend to decrease. Once the tires start to wear more, the jerking subsides, but the vibration comes back. I wonder if you have the jerking problem as well.
