not sure about the fiesta wheels, but my car does the same. could be your tracking, or could be that the tyres have bulges?

i have just found out that thats what mine have, means when the wheels are rotating its kinda 'lumpy' giving a juddery ride.

check tyre pressures, tracking, and driveshafts

my car does it from 50 to 70 all the time, u can let go of the wheel and watch it, ive tryed everything to stop it i think it must be the driveshafts.

Get your wheels on an aligment machine down your local tyre fitter, chances are one of them could be buckled m8 smileys/smiley5.gif

is it your wheel bearing?

Jack your car up and see if the wheel wobbels, if it does the bearing is
shagged and needs replacing

Could be a flat spot in the tyre. I had this problem when I got a new tyre fitted. Took it back to the garage, got another 1 fitted and no more shaking.
