You may have a bad tire. Have the tire shop look for a flat spot. Happen to me with one of a new set of Pirellis that came on my XJ8. The thing was balanced twice before the defect was found.

I had the exact same problem. I had the rebalance the tires and put the weights on the inside edge and it got rid of the shakes. Mine was worse at 55 and then tapered off and dissappeared at 70.
