As per jchammond's comment above, check the condition of your tires. If it's been a while since you had the tires balanced, get that checked and have them check for out-of-round condition.
The vibration could be coming from somewhere else, but tires are the most common cause.

A common complaint for any car with wide tires. It's called "tire scrub." Look up "tramlining" while you're at it.

I deal with both of these issues every day.
