If it goes away after a bit of driving, it does sound tire related. If you park it for just a few hours and drive it, does the shimmy happen?

I have the same tires and the same problem. I get a little wheel wobble for the first few miles but then it disappears completely. I don't drive the car that often so I just assumed it was the tires getting a flat spot from non use.

There is a TSB for steering wheel shimmy on the 2011. It's an EPAS thing. My 11 doesn't have the problem.
