Always get you tires balanced especially when new, that may be your issue.

I wouldn't say "ALLIGHMENT" OR "alligment"...... I'd say alignment.

i usually get my tires balanced and rotated every oil change and that takes care of any kind of vibration that may be showing up. It also keeps the tire wear even and extends the life of your tires.

I usually get my tires at discount tire and they come with lifetime rotation and balancing it is just a matter of stopping in for 15 minutes when they aren't busy to let them do it

Wheel/tire balnce or even slightly worn tierods! Have them spin balanced and check your tierod end inner and outer for any noticeable play!
