steering wheel shakes on 91civic dx!

when ever i get between 50-65mph my steering wheel shakes, not that much but still noticeble, its fine before that speed and after, the body of the car doesnt shake at all but only the steering wheel, what do you guys think could be the problem? could being out of alignment cause this? it seems like the tires are wearing out evenly so I dont know if its the alignment, or something else, anyhelp appreciated, thanks

When i first got my car it did the same thing, badly too. I needed new front tires so i brought it in and also got a full 4 wheel alignment and balancing and my car car drives so nice now. I have zero vibration at any speeds, it feels like a whole different car now.

Check your tire pressure.

the shaking is more than likely your wheels need to be rebalanced. the unever tire wearing is an alignment problem.

wheel balance issue or a bad tire, they can check the tires while balancing.

Bent rims, or tie rod ends can also cause this.
