Default Death wobble question

Okay my dealership is saying that my tires are causing the death wobble but I am very sceptical about it because they are somewhat lazy and have overlooked things before. So I guess what im asking is can tires be the sole reason for the death wobble?

I think this is two different problems, but I appreciate the suggestion.

It depends, but yes, they can contribute to DW

how old are your tires, what brand/type are they, how many miles and do you wheel pretty hard with them.
