I had a defect with my rear tire and it was causing vibrations on my seat and my steeringwheel. That could be one of the cause's you can have it checked it out when you have them rebalance your tires.

+1 due to a slight off balance it can cause vibrations, take it to another shop that has road-force balance machine if you current one doesnt have one.
