Default Steering wheel vibration

I have a small problem at least I hope it's small, once I get going about 60 to 65 my steering wheel starts to vibrate. It just started doing this yesterday. Has this happened to anyone or does anyone know what it could be?

The wheels maybe need rebalancing.

Have you checked the air pressure? If one tire is lower than the other it might cause it to vibrate also.

I noticed this when my front tire tread started to seperate. Got worse and worse real fast.

May have a flat spot on the inside of one of the front wheels. These wheels tend to get flat spots. If you take it in to have the wheels rebalanced have them check the wheels for flat spots.

A new steering stabilizer may be an easy fix?
Replace your Steering Stabilizer, you'll be surprised.

If you had it stored (parked) for a while, the tires definitely get flat spots. They have to warm up well and roll for a while to return to normal. In the interim, it will cause a vibration or thumping. I noticed this on both my XFs yesterday, when I pulled them out of the garage for their first drive since November. At low speeds, no problem; over 50 I started to notice the flat spot.
