United-Kingdom Steering wheel/column vibration

I've got a standard 03 MCS, I've only rcently noticed that there is quite a strong vibration coming through the steering wheel at high speed. I had new tyres fitted a while back and this is the first time I've driven the car at high speed. Could this be a result of bad wheel balancing? The vibration is not felt at normal road speeds?

I had a steering wheel judder at high speeds caused by hitting pot holes which knocked the tracking out on my 02 MCS and getting the wheels rebalanced sorted it so I would imagine yours might be the same. I couldn't feel it driving round town etc.

Thanks for the advice. I think I'll get the wheels rebalanced then and see if that makes a difference.
