Default '96 cherokee high speed vibration

What causes my xj to vibrate a lot when going 45-55 than it's not as bad but it still vibrates while on the highway? I'm new to this wheeling thing I'm loving it but I dislike the vibration and my xj is my daily driver and I work 20 mins out of town so I would appreciate the help! Thanks guys

the condition and tires balance should be checked first

Oh alright I see. They are pretty old for the looks of it their worn too so I might be replacing them this week and hoping that it will make a difference once I get it done. If the tires had too much air would that affect them? I'm running 32PSI - 265/r16

yes it will make them very bouncy and ruff riding [feel all the pebbles in the road feeling] ,getting new tires will make a big difference just like us wearing new socks and shoes lol
