Default steering wheel wobble/movement?!

alright so the past week or so i noticed a lot of weird movement in my steering wheel while driving.. its kinda hard to explain but when im just drivin the wheel shakes to the left and right.. like someone is pulling on it a little to each side..
and it also pulls really hard to the right. my right front tire is getting pretty bald but the others are ok.. could this be it?

any help is appreciated

tires can seperate and will cause pulling to one side or the other.
or the rim could be bent/ unbalanced wheels
did you hit anything or loan your car to someone?
if so maybe your alighnment. start with the new tire or two and allignment the cheap way is $200 for both tires and allignment. good luck

or make it easy... balance your tires and if that doesnt work the wear on the tire means prolly alot of burnouts without lsd if the car is new to you... but definatly take the car to les schwab and get a free alignment check

the Bald tire is your culprit. My mom's Geo was doing the exact same thing just right left right left with the steering wheel everyone thought I was nervous or something! anyway replaced the tire with a used one in good condition and everything is straight. Although 2 new tires balanced and aligned is the proper way to go.

yup definately could be your tires. try swapping your front tires with your rear tires and see if it helps. If that doesn't solve it, try replacing your bushing or could be the tie rod end.
