New Tires = Nice, but still a bit o' wiggle from front wheels now and again 700

Use a pry bar to check ball joints and front sway bar end links.
Have someone rotate the steering wheel, while you place your hand on each tie rod end, to check for play in those. There should be NO play in any of these parts. The rubber sway bar bushings should have some compliance with strong pressure, but no slop.
Also, jack up the front end to check for wheel bearing play. And consider that you may have a warped front brake rotor- possibly due to the tire shop overtorqueing the nuts.

Good luck!
