That's a classic wheel balance problem.

Make sure that the shop that rebalances them knows what they are doing.

You replaced the shocks in an 07+ Tahoe already???? If so, why???

Where are you feeling the vibration??? Steering wheel or through the seat???

This was a common problem with the early models. Mine was built in July 06 and drove the dealer crazy. Finally heard from GM that there was a problem with the torque converters. They tried changing wheels/tires, drive shafts, rear end, and then found out from GM about the torque converter. Once they changed it, smooth as silk.

Since to have aftermarket 22's, that is most likely the problem. Be sure the tire place can check for Roadforce Variation. Any reputable tire store can check it. It determines if there are hard spots in the tire, and it can help match the tire to the wheel for the best possible ride.

I've seen it a million times especially with oversized wheels/tires.
