It could be a couple of things.

First check to see if there is any visible damage to the rim, you could possibly have a bent rim.

Second check to see if your rim weights are still on the rim. They could have come off. Which means you have to get it re-balanced.

Third check the ball joints. To do this you will need to jack up the vehicle so your wheel in question is off the ground and try to tilt the tire up and down by grasping the tire from the 12 o'clock position and the 6 o'clock position if it moves you mights have bad ball joints. this will also cause tire ware on the inside or outside edges of the tire. This means you will need to get new ball joints installed and an alignment to re-align everything up.

Fourth check your tie rods (if applicable) when your vehicle is jacked up try to move your tire by grasping the tire at the 9 0'clock position and the 3 o'clock position if it feels like it slips or makes clunk noise and does not glide easily then you have a bad tie rod. This means you will have to replace the tie rod and will have to get an alignment.

Fifth check your shocks if your tire in questing has uneven ware that looks like your tire tread is wavy. This is called cupping this means you have a bad shock. You will have to replace the shock.

And finally it could just be out of balance. You will have to get it re-balanced

Like I said it could be a couple of different things.

Take it to a mechanic that you trust and have them look it over. Usually it does not cost anything for a diagnoses and estimate.
