Hi Mark,

Where do you feel this vibration? If you feel it in the steering wheel or in your seat, most likely it is a tire vibration or something turning at the speed of the tires like a hub or rotor out of round. If this just started and you have not hit a large pot hole or a curb then most likely it is a tire issue.

If you feel it somewhere else, we could be dealing with a drivetrain vibration however, these are rare around the speeds you are talking about. Normally, what you are describing is a tire issue.
