Re: Sustained Vibration Only @60MPH Between 1700-1900RPM in a 2003 Pilot.
I very much doubt that it is RPM related or you would see it at other
speeds in other gears. The classic symptom of a tire out of balance is a vibration that sets up somewhere around 55-65 and is absent above and below that speed. Sounds like what you have. My guess is that a tire has been out of balance tire.

Re: Sustained Vibration Only @60MPH Between 1700-1900RPM in a 2003 Pilot.
I had a similar problem recently. It happened after tire rotation and
balancing but had nothing to do with either. It turned out that the tire place over-inflated the tires. Manufacturer recommends 26 psi for normal driving. They inflated the tires to 34 psi when I noticed extreme vibration and then checked the tire pressure the following morning when the tires were cold. After I lowered the pressure down to 28 psi, most of the vibration was gone. Some damage to the tires might have already happened.
