vibrating back tires

Help! I have a '95 Bronco XLT, 5.8l. It has stock chrome 15 in. Ford wheels, running 265/75/R/15 Goodyear RT/S tires. Has anyone had trouble balancing these tires? My back tires start vibrating after 50mph. and get worse the faster I go. Big O has replaced 2 of the tires as they said they had"bubbles" in them and put 2 used tires on the back temporarily. This fixed the vibration problem. When my new tires came in, they put the good tires on the back and the new ones on the front - now the back is vibrating just like before! Now they want to sell me two more new tires. Does anyone know a good place to get tires balanced? Or am I missing something here? They also said it could be a bent rim... Why didn't they vibrate when they were on the front!

check your center bolts on your leave springs. if one is broken then your rear axel will **** and this will create a vibration with an agressive tread tire. did you ever see a car driving down the road crooked or the back of the vehickle was ofset from the front ,this is a broken center bolt on the springs.slow speeds would not give as much of a vibration because tire scuff is not os severe as when you are going fast.
