Where would I go to have the driveshaft rebalanced?
You said the vibration improved after road force balancing but didn't entirely go away. Your problem didn't start until you got those tires. I think you see where I'm going with this.

I had thought you were already doing these checks
Yes I did, but i'm not sure what it the vibration frequency is telling me?
I did pull the dipstick and noticed a light, dark gray film on the stick.
My best guess is the TC is on it's way out again.
Either way it's over my head as far as repair.

I thought this way too, but I now have no vibration off the throttle(I did before the RF balance). Touch the throttle to accelerate or maintain a steady cruise and it's there. I had the TC go out last spring, the film on the stick tells me maybe it is bad again.

Now you ruled out all other possibilities and found the issue, unfortunately it's not a easier fix
