I have a 2005 Odyssey, and I noticed recently that whenever I drive over 60+ mph, the steering wheel shakes/vibrates. At first, I thought it might be the alignment and I replaced all 4 tires last week at Costco. So with new tires/alignment, it is still shaking. Before I bring it to the mechanic, what else might be causing this vibration at high speed?

Worn control arm bushings, bad ball joints, worn tie rod ends. It's possible you have a bent rim.

Could also be wheel bearings. Does it shake when braking too?

Alignment does not shake. Don't repeat that mistake again. Alignment pulls to either side or causes uneven tires wear.
I am assuming, BALANCING was actually done?

Btw, does the steering wheel ONLY vibrates, or entire car vibrates?

avoid driving higher than 45 mph until you get a mechanic to check it.

this happened to my mustang and i ended up losing control of it on the freeway and totaled it. luckily i didn't hurt anybody including myself

This is what I thought. Maybe you threw a weight off the rim.

As others mentioned tire balance problem. Alignment isn't the problem. Wheel bearings, ball joints would do it at any speed.

Who did the alignment? I know when I use to do them, I would spot most of the worn/bad steering/suspension parts trying to align the thing. Being that its an 05, there could be some worn parts.

I would not overlook a bent rim though.
