Front end vibes

After reading through many of the posts here regarding front end vibration I'm a little perplexed as to what I may be experiencing.
I notice a good amount of vibes at speeds above 65mph. I can feel them through the wheel and even when my foot's on the floor I can feel them through the body. At times it almost feel oscillating like it's coming in waves.
Putting it in neutral at speed does nothing. My upper motor mount was bad and I replaced it but it only helped a little bit. The tires in front are wearing on the edges quite a bit. The front end feels tight -- wheels don't move when trying to turn them.
I can't say it's an inner driver as I don't think it's acceleration dependent. Only above 65mph. Below 65 it's not noticeable at all.
So...I'm planning on replacing the lower mount (if the upper was bad I assume the lower is as well), new tires, a force load balance and alignment. Any thing else I should look for?
