First off - you know you're bike better than anyone else can. If you ride it daily a slight change will be very noticeable and other people wont even feel it. We've all experienced this when taking a car or bike to a mechanic and they can't replicate the problem.
I had a vibration / shimmying that was continually getting worse over time. At the time I had a really cheap Japanese no-name front tire. When I replaced it the vibration went away. I took a long look at my old tire and found some flat spots and bumps that were clearly causing the problem.
