Bent wheel or warped rotors. Try swapping the front wheels to the back and see if the shake in the steering wheel goes away. If it does then one of the wheels is bent.

Warped rotors can do the trick! But if its just now coming about, like said above it is most likely a bent wheel! :(

Assuming balanceing was done correctly, bent wheel or warped rotors. If it shakes when you're NOT braking, then it's the wheel.

If it didnt shake before he got new tires its not a bent wheel. More than likely its a defective tire that is out of round. Road force balancing can detect that.

check the date codes on the tires to make sure they are current and not shitty old stock tires they dumped on you.

Why didn't you say that you had a bent wheel from the beginning, that's your problem not the new tires. Until your get a new wheel it's not going the get any better.
