Could it be a wheel out of round? not just a tire. My 59 MGA
had a bad shake at around 55MPH that would never go away I Rotateded the
tires, balanced, attacked the front end etc... Finally found
a nice new set of wire wheels with new tires on them and the
trouble went away.
Good luck and glad to hear that you found an easy fix.

Eric,
Just solved this exact problem with my '77B.
She would shake at 55 but smooth out again at around 65.
First, I repacked the front bearings. Still, no joy.
Next, I moved the front tyres to the rear.
No more shaking!
Good luck.
