Do you feel the vibration in the steering wheel? Sure seems like a tire problem but you likely can't tell by just looking at it. You could jack the car up so the front wheels are just off the ground, start the car and put it in gear so the wheel spins. See if it spins smoothly or if it starts vibrating. Compare it to how smoothly the other one spins. Also look at it from the front to see if it's wobbling side to side indicating a bent rim. You could also switch the suspect wheel with one of the rear wheels and see if that makes a difference.
Also, check your drive axle boots. If you have a split axle boot and dirt gets in then the axle can actually stick in a position that's not in balance. That happened to me at low speed. It goes away at higher speed because the joint is forced to straighten out. If this is the problem though, you need to replace the drive axle because the joint is ruined.
