Do you feel the vibration in the steering or the seat or both? It could be tire balance, alignment, a bad belt in a tire, bent rim, bad u-joint... and the list goes on.

Let me know where you feel the vibration most, steering or seat.

The cheapest thing to try first, is to rotate the tires. If it is tire balance and you put them in the rear of the vehicle, you will feel the vibration chance from the steering wheel to the floor / seat. If it isn't tire balance, then we need to consider a bent rim, a bad tire with a shifted belt, alignment...

LEt me know if it changes.
