When im going down the road or hopping on the freeway and i get into third or up gears the steering wheel tends to wobble. Now i know that its usually cause of uneven tire wear, but the tires are both brand new. Could it be because the arn't balanced tires?
 
Could it be because they aren't balanced tires?
"DING!" You win the award with your correct answer !

Get them balanced and wheel shimmy will disappear.

Why you don't notice the shimmy in the first two gears is that the tires aren't rotating fast enough to allow the heavy side of the tire to "pull" the vehicle in that direction.
