vibration at speed... Steering or tires...?

Hi All,

26,000 mi M340i X Drive getting some vibrations from the car that feels like the lane departure vibration is on (while it should not be) feels almost identical.

Not sure is this is a thing (having it be the steering) or if its the tires?

The tires are original, lots of potholes in MA, so I'm leaning towards it being the tires... But two are relatively new due to some punctures. So I don't want to wholesale replace them.

This just started a week ago and its pretty annoying. I do not remember an event that would cause an issue. And I do not see any tire damage off hand...

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Just curious, you're saying two of the tires are relatively new due to being replaced. How much of a difference in tread depth are we talking about? With xDrive, you want to keep the tread depths pretty close front-to-rear.

Not much, The BMW dealer did the replacements, one was in front, the other in the rear... All tires have a decent amount of tread. Not sure how that would cause a vibration all of a sudden. This came on fast...

Wanted to see first if there was any info on the steering...

I might have tossed a wheel weight, so that the next step

I'm tempted to just replace them for some go flats...
