Vibration at Speeds Above 85 mph
I notice a vibration in the steering wheel at speeds above 85 mph. It is not evident at all below that speed. Is this normal? Could it be an unbalanced wheel and tire or a misalignment or is it something worse?

As everyone else said, more than likely a tire ballance issue.
That would be the first thing to check.

Unbalanced or flat spotted tires. I had this problem after flat spotting my tires and it only happened about 75mph.

Check the right front tire for flat spots. It's the one that always locks first.
