Tire wobble?!!!?

So Ive got a pair of 3/4 used bfg 315's, and the other day I was hauling Edit and when I went above 85mph, she started to shake/wobble really violently? I have had this happen once before but didnt mention it. Is it because my tires have worn funny, or are the tires too big to go that fast. When I had the stock tires, I could run it at 100mph for as long as I wanted without this happening. Also is there a way I can prevent this, like installing steering stabilizer shocks?

yah you want to make sure they are balanced and wearing evenly and always aired to the right pressure, those all make a big difference. i run 35 bfg m/t and the front wear uneven compared to the back and i can tell it will wobble, but when its balanced and aired right i can run 100mph all day long and no problems

Most likely it's the BFG's, they seem to be prone to DW more than any other tire. If I'm not mistaken, they're load range D.

Lots of folks have had the exact same problem with that tire, in that size.
