You may have on bad tire or two bad tires.
Suggest you immediately replace front two tires at once with same brand, size etc from tirerack.com. If the shimmy continues, replace the remaining two. My guess is you have uneven tread wear from inadequate trire rotation and a decline in the structural integrity of your side wall(s). This is potentially very dangerous. Consider the shimmy ot be the onset of chest pain and do not wait until you throw a clot into the aorta!
This shimmy could be the deciding factor in an event that could lead to injury and wreck or a close call. Never ever screw around with tires that you know are deficient in any regard. This is negligence per se. Without x-raying the tire you really have no way of knowing how structurally impaired the side wall is. Suggest you consult your tire warranty and see if you can trade the tire(s) in for replacements at a discount or for free. But by all means, do not ignore this problem and risk your life or the lives of others to get another 5000 miles out of bad tires.
