Front tire wobbles when going up steep hills. No wobble at low or highway speeds. Maybe unbalanced tire?

The favorite speed for unbalanced tires is about 45 mph. They might smooth out a little at higher speeds and not turning fast enough to notice at slower speeds. If that's when you're feeling the wobble, it could be a balance problem. Check it for a blister/bubble too.

Maybe
Or bushings
Or Bearing
Or Axle
Or bent rim
Or de-lamination of tire
Or tie rod
Or ... you get the idea.

The older the vehicle the more likely it's not the tire itself. I'm curious how you know the tire is wobbling and not some other mechanism? What do you sense? Is it both front wheels? And no wobble going down hills, how odd. Tie rods/antisway bar, perhaps.
