Default Front end shakes 55 - 60 MPH

I have a 2008 Fusion SEL V6 AWD, with 75k miles on it. Just had my transmission, rear differential and transfer case serviced and at the same time my tires rotated. The "NEXEN" tires had about 5000 miles on them. on my way home from the dealer, I noticed this shaking as if the tires needed re-balancing. I took it back to the dealer who told me that even though I did not notice balancing problems when they were in the rear, they have a tendency to do this when they are in the front. They did the 'hi Speed Balancing" and I still have the same problem. it is as if I was driving on a washboard... Anyone experienced something line this? Is it the cheap tires or something else? There is no problem below 55 MPH and also no shaking above 60MPH!

You're probably not going to like my suggestion, but the next thing I would do is put the tires back where they were and see if the problem changes. Then change one side at a time. If you get the same problem you have now, you will at least narrow it down to one tire , if ,,,,,,it is a tire problem. What do you think?
