I had a shake at about 50-55. Had the drive shaft balanced and new u-joints fixed the problem for me.

I go with the 80-20 rule when looking for shakes/vibes

80% of the time it is the rim/tire related
20% of the time it is a driveshaft.

Should be noted that a slightly bent rim can be balanced but still cause a shake/vibration. Have the run out on the rims checked.

Driveshaft in my old ex did that. Slip joint wore out. Replaced DS, all good. Chased that shake/vibration for about a month.
