My 2.7 T4R with 130K. When on the highway doing 70 plus the sterring wheel shimmies, it has new tires, I bought it with the new tires, was wondering if it could be the tires are not balanced correctly. It has 30's on it. There is no shimmying at 65 or below. Is this just how they handle, any suggestions appreciated.

Could be a few things. Wheel balance, wheel alignment, tire issue. Outside chance it could be the steering system with some loose joints.
If you can, swap the front and rear tires over. This may help diagnose if one wheel is not correctly balanced.
Get the alignment checked. This is usually done when new tires are put on but could be worth checking for your peace of mind.
