Steering Wheel Wobble

My third technical question, just got back from driving across France, plenty of time to reflect.

On moving at slow speeds ie 5 - 15km/h the stering wheel wobbles, on faster speeds the wobble becomes less pronounced and on fast roads 100km/h apparently dissappears. Any ideas what it could be

Slow speed wheel wobble can be caused by a buckled wheel or abnormal tyre wear/shape.
Check tyres inside and out for a bulge. May not be too obvious though. Running your hand along the sidewalls can sometimes make things more obvious than just looking.
Needs checking though, a bulge in the sidewall can give way at any time.
