When I am going about 60 miles per hour the car doesn't run smooth, feels shakey. My tires were replaced in the front about 6 months ago.

I just had the same problem. After several tire rotations, alignments, and balancing it was found to have a broken motor mount. Also replaced front tie rods - $800 later my car runs smooth again.

If its just at that speed, have the tires balanced again, and get a front end alignment ,, a single bump on a curb can knock it out of alignment

SOURCE: my 2000 oldsmoble intrigue is

Start by scanning the engine for any codes it might have. Look at air mixture and fuel trim values. These should point you in a direction to look deeper. Thinks like O2 sensors, Air Flow sensors, etc can all have a effect on mileage.
Also look to see that there is no physical issue. Are the brake calipers binding/sticking? Is the emergency brake working properly and fully disengaging? Are all of the wheel bearings good and moving freely. Almost any of these issues (friction) would result in heat and I think you would have noticed by now.

The car starts to shake between 40 an 60 miles per hour..its not the tires..an just replaced the timing belt..

This is usually caused by the rims being out of balance go to a tire shop and have them balance the rims. Hope this helps you

Hi, I have a 2001 Buick. We just replaced the front tires. Shortly after that we noticed the car vibrates at around 45 to MPH, after we get past this mph the vibration stops. It is not worse when we turn...

Let me see know at 45 miles per hour a vehicle usually shifts gears into the highest gear so could it be the torque converter hanging up and not shifting quick enough or maybe its the U joints. Have the transmission fluid checked for proper level and color.
Here's a small test for you when your accelerating up to 55 miles per hour try letting off the pedal at 44 miles per hour and then reaccelerating up to the 55 mph and tell me if it`s smoother if it is then chances are that it`s hang up on third gear. There's also a electric sensor located on transmission that assist shifting it`s usually controlled by the engine timing.
One more thing did the repair man check to see if the tires where directional tires if there not put on right it could cause vibration and early wear out .Hope i helped you.
