check out your brakes. is there uneven wear in the pads? if the alignment is done right, then id be pointing at the brakes

I bet a dollar to a donut problem is a tire ( not matter if new or old tire )try roll along at about 8-9 mph for a full city block on smooth road see if you feel wabble in car or feel wabble in steerijg wheel if so you have bad tire,try front rotate side to side, try even if directonial try for short time to find problem then rotate rear side to side if front did not help if you find witch tire is problem then eather replace it or replace set
good luck,Johnny
