You need your wheels balanced. Because once you go over a certain speed its like the wheel is being balanced, laws of physics lol

if it gets worse while braking it's the rotors. if it gets better when braking it's most likely just a balancing issue.

could be a slipped belt or some other issue in the tire.

rotate the fronts to the back. If the problem remains it's not tires.

It could also be ball joints/tie rods. It might go away when you brake because you're changing the toe/caster when you brake on bad steering stuff.
