2002 Honda Accord front wheel vibrates at high speed

Skins = Tires
As for thinking your issue is tires, no, as I wrote earlier, it is starting to sound more like an axle issue to me. If you decide to swap out the left front axle, don't cheap out on the replacement unit, by all accounts replacements axles from either Honda or Raxles-dot-com are the way to go.

Also, do you think if I replace all 4 tires could fix the problem (if it is not an axle problem). I hesitate to do so because the tires are half new.
Thanks again!

I think you've already shown that it's NOT the wheels or tires. Like we have said, if it was caused by a tire, it would move to a new corner of the car when you rotate the tires. Rotating the tires is the best way to prove it is or is not caused by the tires.
One way to check the axles is to reach underneath & grab the axle. Try to shake it every which way. Especially try to wobble it NOT in the direction along the length of the axle. One way for the axle to go bad, is for the inboard CV joint to get loose.
If it does NOT move, that doesn't really prove the axle is good. It might just take more force to get it to wobble.
Best to do this when the car is sitting on it's own tires. If you jack it up, then the suspension is extended. If you drive up on ramps that's good but MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE it's solid so the car doesn't fall down on top of you.
