Default Vibration at highway speeds

I just purchased my second set of Pirelli tires. The car feels fine at slower speeds, but once i hit 80mph i feel a little vibration in the seat and some in the steering wheel. I cant tell if this is a wheel balancing issue or bent wheel. Do tire shops balance tires at high speeds?

Call around and find a shop that uses Hunter Road Force balance machines.

Thanks for the reply. I had the tires rebalanced and checked for any bends since i hit a pothole the day after i bought the tires.

No about 55-65mph
