Get a wheel balancing done. When your steering wheel shakes above 60+mph that means the wheels are out of balance. Quick 10 minute procedure at any tire place...

If you have a dirt build up in the wheel, it will create the wobble you're talking about at the speed you're talking about. Might be something else though. 
If you have a buddy with wheels with the same bolt pattern, see if you can borrow is wheels for a few hours and test. If the wobble is still there, the problem ain't the wheel, if the wobble disappears then you know what to do... Narrow down the possibilities...
And by the way... 34/36 is really high. At 34psi cold, my tires reach 42-44psi hot. So your 36 cold can result in 44-48psi hot. That's way toooooo high. Maybe you should try 32/34, 32/33.

ya thats what i thought my air pressure seemed wierd but also my tires max out at 51psi which is extermaly high for a sedan maxpsi but i will check out the wheels for dirt and balacne them good . but i will check them out for cupping which i think is the probelm or radiel pull if so i will get some new tires. also i checked out my tires and the tread wear indicators are showing but it doesnt make sense becuase i only had the tires for 4months
