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
