I would get alot of vibration and wobble and it was especially scary on the highway but basically the lower ball joint is responsible for keeping the whole wheel on the car and if that breaks then bye bye tires and hello accident. I would have them check you lower ball joints to see if there is any play. You probably hit a pothole and it made it loose. Tires do play a huge role in helping the overall drive of your car because I mostly do highway driving as well. It basically looked like I was drunk driving hahaha. Hope this helps brah

There has been a few other people here say as well that they found their lower balljoint loose, all on new cars. For sure worth looking into.
