Check wheel balance, TREs, bushings and the condition of the tires. Worn tires will vibe like a summa*****.

You shouldn't have any vibes with those cute little tires.

Gotta rule wheels/tires out first like you're doing.

If no joy, then move onto more complex possibilities (and there are a lot of them)

Know this well, When I bought mine it had 195 tyres on it, fine for a while but then I found 62mph major vehicle falling apart, kin scary first time also.
Turned out my offside, your nearside wheel was out 160 grammes, had that balanced no problems since.
Now lifted with bigger wheels and tyres and actually in a straight line better than small stuff.
