Default Shaking at highway speeds

I noticed this morning when driving on the highway that my car was shaking/wobbling. NOT in the steering wheel it seemed like the whole car was shaking, Infact it was making me shake. Its not really noticeable until about 70-80 km/h and then anything above that you can notice it easily. It seemed to shake more when accelerating but it was still noticeable when crusing at about 110 km/h. I dont think its anything to do with the tires, I just put new winter tires on this season. Im thinking more like a bad tie rod or something...any ideas?

Tires might be out of balance. A wheel weight might have come off.
