Vibration of the tire is caused by a uniformity parameter called "variation of radial force". Usually a vehicle's steering wheel will vibrate (called torsional nimble) at a certain speed. This vibration is caused by the harmonics of this radial force. Picture the side view of a tire with different size springs within it. The force of these springs cause a distortion of this force and you feel this distortion in the steering wheel.

Why a car vibrate at high speed and its steering wheel shake when braking just at high speed?

High speed vibration is often an indication of a wheel that is out of balance or a bent rim. It can also be a bent driveshaft or bad U-joint. Vibration when you brake at high speed is almost always a warped rotor on the disk brakes.

What would cause the steering wheel to vibrate when turned left or right in a stopped position?

The power steering system works on high pressure and at idle the pump does not turn fast enough to provide full assist. It requires a higher engine rpm.
