Default Slight Steering Wheel Wobble

I recently purchased a set of wheels and tires from tire rack. They came, mounted and balanced, all I had to do was take my winter set off, and throw on the summer set. After doing so, I took the car out for a drive and noticed the steering wheel begin to wobble at around the 35-70 mph range. Once I'm driving at around 100+mph it appears to go away. I can also feel this wobble/vibration on my right foot as well(accelerator). Any suggestions?

Running Hankook Tires. 240 18 in the front and 255 40 18 in the front and 285 - 30 - 19 in the rear. (I know other members on the forum have used the same fit on their vehicles.) This may be a different issue. But what else could it be?

Thanks,

FJP

don't know about tires, but I chased a vibration through two sets of tires and rims and found two contributors. Drivers side wheel bearing and the brake caliper sliders were binding up.

Had a similar problem - took it somewhere else for a balance and it went away
