Default Wierd vibration

Hey guys, We have a 95 lexus es-300 and I drive it a few times now the problem is pretty weird. Sometimes going around 40mph on a nice even road the steering wheel and front of the car being to vibrate exactly like when you drive on the side of the median on the highway, those ripples that vibrate the car. It sounds almost like 100 percent like that but on clear roads and all I have to do is step on the gas a little and it goes away but none the less it feels very alarming its like the car is having a seizure.

It could be a few things.
If your not braking and it vibrates then you might need to balance your wheels. Proper tire pressure and balance will affect the way your car drives. Also the tires can come into play. Do you have the same brand tires in the front? I know sometimes if you get two different tires with different amount of tread then it will affect it as well. Just my 2 cents. Hope its nothing more than that.

Hmm well the tires are different from front to back but I really dont think they will produce that much vibration, and no its not the engine mounts b/c they were replaced 6 month ago
