Maybe your alignment was done incorrectly. Cell phones play a big part in things not being done right these days.

You could try this:

Barely. Barely. Lift your front wheels off of the ground. ONE AT A TIME

I'm talking, not touching, but low enough, that a roach could not crawl under it!

Spin the wheel. WEEEEE. WEEEEE!

If another part of your tire scrapes the ground, you have a bulge/ knot/ goose egg/ or a broken radial belt. Need a new tire

Or you gotta bent rim!

Sometimes you can "Spot it" or feel it with your hand. The spin thing is a "decent" way to check, if it is not obvious. Tire shop might verify, anything, you are unsure of.

Your wheel is no longer perfectly round

Let me know what you find
