Before I buy used tires I make sure that there are no plugs, patches or blisters to avoid any problems..

This should be very easy for you to verify for yourself, especially on a front tire. Just jack it up and spin it as fast as you can while holding a pencil or something (as steadily as you can) right next to the edge of the rim. The pencil gives you a stationary point of reference to see if the rim wobbles side-to-side or up-and-down.

Rotate the front to rear(rims with tires) to see if the problem goes away. Most likey its tire balancing issues or just a bad tire(s). Take em back to the tire shop and ask them to rebalance them.

No, I doubt that that can be the problem. Have you tried rotating them front to back yet? Give that a shot, I bet it will improve the vibrating problem.
If you have a tire/rim problem, you would want to avoid having it up front cause you steer with the front wheels.. If its in the rear it will be less noticeable, IMO..

I did that and it's still vibrating. Interesting discovery today, I lifted up the car, rotated the tire, and the thread was moving up and down at one spot. So it's a bad tire...
