I have 4 new tires on my car and they have all been roadforce balanced twice just to make sure it was not a tire or rim problem. I have an annoying shimmy in wheel at low and high speeds and it seems to come and go at differnt speeds. I the repair shop said tire problem but this is the third set of tires and the same problem there. I looked at the tire on the car up on the lift while it was spinnig it looks like a wobble what can this be.

I would think it unusual for a car with under 40,000 miles to have a mechanical suspension problem, not impossible but unusual.

I would take the car to a reputable alignment shop and have it aligned, as well as have the suspension components checked.
This could be a toe or camber problem.
