I have personally seen curb damaged tires bulge then with a reduction in psi the bulge lessened , those tires was shot and was replaced in real short order.
In your case higher psi should be avoided , not sure what psi you are using now. Following this avenue you could raise the psi in each tire(individually) and road test to see which tire causes the shimmy to increase.
that test is free , if you have access to free air it will pin point a tire IF it is as I suspect and I Bet(the price of air) that you find a bad tire/tires.

I already tested that, at 44psi the ride is a hell of a lot worse then at 35. Tbh you can't really tell which tire it's coming from, the shimmy shakes the entire front end of the car
