If it's a rotational "jerky" feeling relative to speed I'd definitely look at the front tires. If you can't see anything obvious like signs of separation or any missing weights try rotating them to the back and see if it changes.

Have you rotated your tires yet? I usually rotate my tires around 6,000 miles depending on the brand and driving I'm doing. Tires could be wearing funny and causing the issue you feel as well.

I'd suggest tire balance and rotation

Absolutely. Always if a tire issue is suspected switch things around.
