Ok I just noticed today when I was on the interstate that my bike had an awful wobble, doesn't do it at low speed, now my front tire is worn, one side is worn more than the other. Could that be it or something else?

Could be low tire pressure, the worn tire, bad wheel bearings, bad steering head bearings. But it's probably a combination of the first two.

Let's start with the basics. What tires are you running? What pressures are you running?
Rub your hand front to back and back to front. Does the tire want to grab your hand? If so, then the tire is cupped, and the best fix is a new tire.
You probably also want to check the head bearings and wheel bearings. Loose bearings will give similar symptoms.

Check tire pressure, loss of wheel weights and visually inspect the bike to see if anything is out of whack (out of alignment). Check forks and rear wheel alignment. I road a bike with a bent frame that had been straightened, it wasn't until well over 100 mph that the bike started shaking (violently). You've most likely lost a wheel weight or something is out of alignment, the unequally worn front tire tends to make me suspect the front end.
