Driving in the morning...

today, hitting 50 miles per hour made my steering wheel vibrate very rapidly. Temp was on the 50's. After 20 mins it was gone.

Can cold temp. be related to this issue? Maybe tires has less pressure due to this?

Thanks

That sounds right. I always get a little shake when cold. After a few minutes it all smooths out.

Stock tires seem to cause some vibration when cold. You're in FL so I wouldn't think that it would get that cold down there. I notice it more when it's about 32 degrees.

I had snow in the spokes of the stock rims last week. I thought my cars was seriously messed up. Rapid vibration like you described.

Maybe you had mud or something on the wheels/tires that made them unbalanced and after driving it fell off, returning the wheels to the balanced state ??

What tires do you have? Maybe they're getting flat spots overnight.

We get maybe 10 days total of this weather in a whole damn year.
