could be the issue.
Vibration at highway speed
I am having a vibration problem. It is mostly at highway speeds. especially over 60ph. Had a four wheel alignment and tires re-balanced twice with no improvement. New tires. The shop says that that the rims have a slight warp in them. Does this sound right? Have others had this problem?

Take it to another shop and have it looked at.
i had similar issue
one tyre had flat spot since i braked hard and i had no abs.
changed 2 tires and problem solved

Alignment will not fix a vibration issue unless a suspension part is extremely worn out or loose....in which itd have to be replaced generally.
Vibration from wheels are caused by bent rims, balancing machines that need re calibrated, flat spots on tires, and sometimes defective tires.

what can be done to catch a defective tire / tire with flat spot.
put the tire in the balancing machine which rotates it.
keep ur finger on the tire and try to feel the irregularities. a flat spot can be easily felt by anyone if he touches a rotating tire.

Tire and wheel manufacturers continually develop new manufacturing methods to enhance the uniformity of their products because radial runout, lateral runout, force variation and imbalance can affect a vehicle's ride quality.I am having a vibration problem.

Match mounting tires on wheels is a process where a tire's installed position on the wheel is specifically selected to help minimize the final combination's force variation and/or imbalance. One match mounting procedure aligns the tire's measured high point of radial force variation with the measured low point of the wheel's radial runout. The other simply aligns the tire's lightest spot with the wheel's heaviest spot.
Original Equipment (OE) tire suppliers are required to mark the tire's "high point" while OE wheel manufacturers mark the wheel's "low point." This helps the vehicle manufacturer match mount combinations that maximize new car ride quality while reducing the amount of balancing weight.
Today, many vehicle manufacturers specify the use of a temporary tag applied to tires and wheels that are removed before the vehicle is put into service. Unfortunately, this means that there are no permanent marks to reference later.
