My car starts great no rough idle or anything and drives great at low speeds from 0 MPH to about 25 MPH but once you hit the 30 MPH mark, it starts to wobbly really bad why?

This is most likely one of a couple reasons. First is a tire issue. So, let's start by checking the tires for wear so here is a guide that will help with this:

I am attaching a chart below that will help with this as well.

If you find tire wear, it may not be the tires themselves. It may be a sign of steering or suspension issues. So that means we will need to check the tie rods and ball joints.

Lift each tire off the ground and wiggle it when gripping at 3 and 9 then 12 and 6. There should be zero movement.

Let's run through this info and see what we turn up.
