In any vehicle, the steering wheel can start shaking if there are problems with the front wheels. They could be out of balance, or there could be somthing physically wrong with the tire itself, like broken steel bands under the rubber tread. If you drove on any muddy roads, something as simple as a chunk of mud getting stuck on the rim can make the wheel be out of balance until it is cleaned off so I would look for any debris on the rims before I took them to a garage to be re-balanced. It's possible that there are issues with the steering components but I would rule out tire balance first.
