Thanks, Steve.
Is it possible the tech dropped a wheel and it bent while mounting the initial set of tires? I know it's a long shot, but you never know.
Hopefully I haven't missed someone already proposing this.

That would be revealed during balancing, especially true of a road force balancer. Here's a longshot, check the rotors to make sure none have warped or are being impinged upon in any manner, again the odds of that happening between changes seems remote but a wobbily rotor will vibrate, should be seen during balancing as well.

edit: You know a pad hanging up can cause this as well and might not show up during a RF balance as nobody is applying the brakes. It certainly could not hurt to drop the wheels, pull the pads and clean all the brakes, grease the articulating points such as where the pad heel sits in the carrier. Remove and clean the springs, ALSO if a carrier spring is reversed or changed from inside to outside you will have problems.
