Did you check your tires for any bulges or problems with the belts?

I just went through the exact thing with one of my snow tires -- bounced at high speed and at low speed it felt like the steering wheel was going back and forth.

Turned out to be a bulge right in the middle of the tread. I could barely see it but the tire guy felt it with his hand. I was skeptical at first but replacing the tire fixed the problem.
