Steering Wheel shimmy between 60 and 70 MPH

I own a 2008 V-6 EX-L Coupe with 3000 miles. Noticed massive shimmy when I first drove. Went back to the purchasing dealer and the rebalnce seemed to work. Now I notice a small shimmy between 60 and 70 MPH. They said it was due to the low tire profile on the 18 inch wheels. This is my 7th Honda vehicle I have owned. Never had such problems. I told the dealer they were full of it. The tires on the vehicle are Michelins, which rarely if ever have an out of round problem. I then called the Honda Customer Service in Torrance, CA. They said it was BS. I then called another Honda dealer and spoke with their service manager. He said, " Oh yeah, we've known about that problem for a while. It appers to be a suspension issue. They're working on the problem". No TSB yet.

I should have known something was up when I received a call from Honda's Technical Department 10 days after I picked up the car. I thought they were interested in the VCM system operation. First time I've ever had them call first. Anyone else have the problem? It's intermittant and of varying intensity.
