Please trust me on this, the problems are not related (if the wheel is true).

Wobble when riding is a harmonic issue whereby small steering inputs get amplified to a wobble through resonance.

One thing you can try is to take a crayon and hold it against the center of the fork just barely touching the center of the tire and spin the wheel to mark the running track on the tire. Odds are the tire doesn't run true, so you'll get some skips, but maybe you can see it move a bit side to side at the same time.

We'll wait for a report, but as I said before, the easiest test is to drop tire pressure considerably, say down to 50-60psi and see if it makes a difference.
