I have a slight shimmy and my steering wheel at around 40 mph. My tires are a tad worn unevenly but not too much. However my front left tire is noticeably in better condition than my front right since it is the spare. I just bought a brand new pair of KM3's which I plan to put on soon, which is why I haven't bothered to rotate the tires recently (last rotation about 4k miles ago). Can I expect this shimmy to go away after I mount and install the new tires? I plan on aligning them the same day along with their balancing.
 
You should jack up the Jeep front and spin the front tires listening for noises caused by hub bearings going bad.
While the front tires are off the ground; check for play in the ball joints.
