Agree as above. Get them balanced and possibly an alignment.

Chances are your tires were not properly balanced. Unless it's been awhile and your tires are starting to wear irregularly due to bad alignment and now they're out of balance. Just so everyone knows, alignments don't cause vibrations, they cause irregular tire wear which causes vibrations. Also, it might be drivetrain vibration; drivetrain vibration will change as you give it gas, hold gas steady or let of the gas. If it don't change then it's tire balance problem.

alignment doesnt cause steering wheel shake do not listen to anyone telling u it is an alignment. alignment only effects tire wear it may be a balance issue or check your front end parts
