Default slight vibration over 125 km/h

Hello all,

when I'm going over 125 on the highway I get slight vibration on my steering wheel/pedals, passengers never feel it. It happens even on the smoothest of highways.

What could this be?

Unbalanced wheels? Bent rims?
The alignment seems fine, steering wheel is straight.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Have the tires checked for roundness and balanced. If that doesn't fix it, holler back.

+1 Most likely tire balance. They balance tires at 45 mph. I had the same problem at higher speeds.
