wheel shimmeys at 60mph

I've a new SL55 and I've noticed a shimmey of the steering wheel as I accelerate past 60. is this a wheel balance problem or has anyone else experienced this as well.

thanks

George

Xeron, check the tires and see if any of them are wearing. If you see a white thread within the tire, then that might be problem. If this is the problem, you should recognize significant difference after a tire change.
