vibration at ~60 mph

hey, i just noticed the other day that there has a been a small vibration in the front wheels and steering wheel around 60 mph. if i speed up, it goes away. the vibration is kind of the very mild feeling of braking with warped rotors. im trying to figure out what this is but really have no clue. hope this helps you guys figure out the problem. Thanks!

First guess: Tire Balance or uneven wear.

if its just while driving and not braking then its most likely a unbalanced tire. Go have them balanced

Could be a slightly bent wheel.

wow! the support of this forum never cease to surprise me! thanks guys. yeah i was expecting tire balancing beucase i would only feel it when crusing... is it bad if i let this go on for too long becuase i am afraid that there might not be a convenient time to get this done in the near future before routine maintenience. the vibration is noticable only when paying attention..

Thanks

No need to bring it to the dealer or mechanic.most tire places can do it in under a hr. I wouldnt let it go too long if its more than just a little shake.
