Why does 01 Prizm only vibrate at 55-65 mph but NOT at 70-75 mph or below 50 even after alignment and new tires?

Had this same problem for two months. Ended up being the alignment. If you can feel it in the steering wheel the problem is probably up front. If you can feel it in the seat then it's probably in back. Cost me $90 for front and rear alignment combined. Look at the interior wall of your tires, check for uneven wear. Changing the tires alone won't fix it; you'll just destroy your new tires.

Why does my 93 Thunderbird vibrate?
it depends on when it vibrates. If it vibrates when driving then it is most likely that you need to get an alignment or your tires balanced or maybe even loose lugnuts on the tires. If it is only when braking then you probably need new rotors or you need to get yours resurfaced.

tire balancing is when the tire is spin balanced so it wont vibrate when you drive down the road.tire alignment isn't really aligning the tire as much as it is correcting the components of the front end so that the tires are straight up+down and side to side.when this is off it will cause premature wear of the tires.

Do bad rims cause bad alignment?
The short answer is yes. The rim itself can vibrate excessively on the axle which could loosen the components which maintain the alignment. This could happen gradually and go unnoticed for awhile. Chances are better bad tires can vibrate which is why they are balanced upon installation. Your tire dealer should be able to differentiate between a damaged/bent rim and a bad tire.
