Default Wobble when going slow

Hey guys, so I have a wobble that I can feel when I go under about 30 mph. The wobble is small but it still makes me uncomfortable. It seems as though it is coming from the front driver side tire. But i'm not 100% sure. I recently replaced the ball joints and two tire rod ends. Right after I finished I got an alignment.Everything seemed to be fine. But then I put some bigger tires on and now I have this wobble.Also I can feel the wobble about the same whither I am turning or not. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

check the lugnuts.. lol happens to the best of us, but anyway

also the new stress of turning those bigger tires could have worn your other 2 tierod ends, so check those

and of course the track bar for any play

Lugnuts are nice and tight and tie rod ends and track bar look and feel good. What would cause it to wobble at low speeds and not at hi speeds? Wouldn't going faster make things worse?

did you do the dry steer test to check if there is any play in any of the steering components?

also how bad is the wobble?

Looks like we're in the clear, it was just a bad tire, the back passenger side tire was starting to give out..Now everything runs nice and smooth!!
