Default Vibration in steering wheel at about 55mph...

I'm getting a very noticeable vibration/wabble in the steering wheel at about 55mph. At 45, it seems fine, and cuts out again before 65. At 70mph, the car feels great and smooth. I had an alignment done about 5K miles ago, so I think it should still be ok. Any ideas? Could the tires need to be re-balanced? I currently have 19K on the car (and tires). They are Goodyear Eagle RS-A's. TIA for your help!

When balancing your wheels ask for the "match ride" balancing. They match the "light" part of the rim to the "heavy" part of your tire, or vice versa. It helped significantly. I got it done at Discount Tires with Hunter machine.
