Slush on wheels can cause wobble!
Had our first storm of the year... slush covered roads...
I noticed a wobble at any speed over 40MPH.
When I stopped there was a slush buildup on the inside of the rims. Later on after this had melted, stability returned.
Never had this happen with another car.
Just a Heads Up...
Cheers...

Ed, I think you're being overmedicated, you're not supposed to eat that.
