VerifiedHello and welcome to justanswer.com
You will feel some play in the back from the hub and the rear axle. As far as this vibration I know you swapped tires but it may be a wheel balance problem. We should first have the wheels and tires road forced balanced to see what they measure out as. If you feel the vibration more in the steering this is usually the front and if you feel the vibration in the seat or floor this is usually the rears.
