In my experience, ensuring the (roughly) correct tyre pressure (on both sides) has a big impact on the amount of wheel wobble displayed. I have fallen foul of this a couple of times.

Also, some tyres I have bought have little rubber stubs (between the wear bars) that stick out past the tread level in some cases and can cause a degree of steering discomfort.

Hope this is of some use.
