Is it normal for new tires to vibrate?
If you’re experiencing vibrations after a new set of tires was installed, it’s possible the tire technician didn’t quite hit the mark on balancing one or more of your tires and wheels. Can a tire and wheel imbalance occur on an older set too? Yes.
What does a unbalanced tire feel like?
The common symptoms of out-of-balance tires are uneven and faster tread wear, poor fuel economy, and vibration in the steering wheel, the floorboard or the seat that gets worse at faster speeds. Balancing also contributes to ride comfort: Imbalanced tires will wobble or hop up and down, which causes vibration.
How do you know if your wheels need balancing?

You may also want to have your tires balanced during a tire rotation, after a flat tire repair, or as part of your scheduled maintenance.

What causes a vibration when you put on new tires?
Immediately after the new tires go on, I notice a vibration from the steering wheel at highway speed, above 60 mph.

Why is there a vibration in the back of my car?
One of the tires/wheels on the rear is the problem, that’s why the vibration moved from the steering wheel to the seat of your pants. Move one tire back to front on one side of the car at a time and that should isolate the one tire that is the culprit.
