Yep. High speed vibrations are likely to be related to balancing. I would have my tires re-balanced. The bubble definitely sounds suspicious.
If it's not the tire/rim (I really think so) then it would be the control arm or some other component... Good luck. |

It can also be from a bent wheel (or wheels). I've driven through a number of rough roads, and they sure do a beating on our wheels, as well as alignment. Also examine your tires for any bumps. Try these after trying to rebalance/rotate tires first.

I'm pretty sure it's the bubble on your tire, www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=157293 you must have smoked a curb or something. There are steel wires inside of the tire that will get bent up on impact

Your alignment could be off. Did you hit the curb before?
