Slight steering wheel shimmy on 99 9-3 'tween 60 and 70

Hi..
Lately I've been getting a very slight steering wheel shimmy, and numbness on center on my '99 9-3 between about 60 and 70 mph. Its very slight, and goes away at speeds outside that range. The car has 36,000 miles. Recently had a flat tire on the right rear, and replaced it w/ a new but slightly different model tire (stock has michelin mxv4's...these were michelin energy, as I am getting new wheels and tires in the spring anyway, and the energy's were a little cheaper. The speed ratings match though). Could having the slightly different and newer tire back there have any effect w/ my steering feel in the front?
Also, for the future, was thinking of buying the steering rack brace...not the whole VRK, but just the steering rack brace. What would this accomplish?
Thanks!
Alex
