I think you should take them back to be rebalanced. I put new tires on my old Turbo twists and I had a slight vibration (65mph+) and once I had them rebalanced it went away. The same happened when I went to new wheels and swapped the old tires on the new wheels. I had to take them back for a second balancing (big vibration 40mph+). I think in one case a wheel weight had fallen off and the other was simply a poor balance. No big deal as the place I always go to stands behind their work. Seems dumb that they can't get it right the first time (using the fancy Hunter dynamic balancing equipment) but oh well.
The alignment could possibly be the issue but highly unlikely (can't even think when this would be the case?) especially since it sounds like you didn't have the vibration before the 19's.
