Exclamation Steering wheel vibrating in 50-55 miles

I just replaced my front right side tire on 08SEP2009, after I replaced the tire my steering wheel start vibrating when the speed in 50-55 miles.

I am not sure if that is the balance issue or I may have bent wheel.

Can any one have the same experince can share with me?

I replaced the tire in BMW dealer. I'm not sure why they do not perform the tire balance, is their fault? or my wheel issue?

please suggest...

Tires. Have the dealer balance the tire. If that doesn't fix the vibration, it might be a bad tire. The dealer has a better balancing machine compared to Big O.

Just go back to the dealer and tell them your steering wheel start vibrating after the front tire replaced! I think they will do the re balance for you, problem solve!
