First time doing at that speed and noticed the steering wheel was slightly shake travelling around 80-87 mph then I eased off the accelerator however when I test it again there was none. I'm not sure if the roads can cause this sort of effect as it wasn't a smooth motorway road but a bit rigged.

I had a similar issue - judder from 70 - 75 only. It turned out to be a buckle in a front wheel.

If you were caught doing that speed you would have more than wheel wobble worry about. Max limit in the UK is 70 mph you know.

On a non-motorway you would have even more to worry about.

But most wheel wobble is a simple balance issue.
