Tires can become unbalanced over time. It's also been my experience that very hot climates (+100 F) tend to introduce the same effect that unbalanced tires have at certain speeds. I don't know if the latter is true, but the tires I experienced this on had a few years on them but were definitely not on their way out.

You said the tires are balanced, but when were they last balanced?

list everything that you've done or has happened in the recent past with your car?

new clutch?
hit any potholes?

you may need to have the alignment done, you may need to have the tires balanced again, maybe have them pulled off the wheels and switched from one side to the other (assuming directional tires) if you've changed anything else that rotates (like the clutch, driveshaft) there may be a need to have it checked for balance
