Question about steering wheel shaking while driving

[Unique427]

Had a steering wheel shake about 1 month after new Nitto tires all around.

Came on at 60 MPH.

Found that one of five 1/4 oz. stick-on wheel weights had fallen off right front side.

Replaced it and shake was gone.

Came on at 60 MPH. Did it get progressively worse as your speed increased (I imagine that it would with an out of balance wheel).

My shake is only at around 60. Above that it smooths out.

55 mph became noticeable.
60 mph pronounced steering wheel shake left-right-left.
70 mph it progressively smoothed out.

I took camera photos of the wheel weight locations after balancing.
That culprit wheel was suppose to have (5) 1/4 oz adhesive
backed weights on it. When compared against the photos
I noticed there were only (4). Those photos saved me a ton
of time and aggravation. Instead of taking wheels off for re-balance
check, just stuck a new 1/4 oz weight where the missing one
should have been. Problem solved.
