2004 rough ride....even after new tires

Recently replaced the tires on our 2004 SE with the Yokohama TRZs (225-60R 17) suggested out here on the board. Though it would help with the rough ride we've been experiencing with the van (one of the old tires was bad - bulge in the outerliner).

Unfortunately it still feels like we're driving over railroad tracks going down the highway. My thoughts are that this might be a bad balancing job on the rim (although the tire place didn't mention any of the rims being out of whack) or possibly we need new struts. The van has 95K on it.

Any thoughts?

TRZ's

We've had those same tires on our '04 SE for almost 40,000 miles and have not experienced anything like what you have/are. Compared to the Goodyears that came with the car, the TRZ's are smoother and quieter - not to mention better grip in both dry and wet. It might help if you could find a shop that will balance the tires on the car.
