It is also possible that one of the new tires is slightly out-of-round. This is much less likely, however, than an unbalanced tire. In any event, back to the shop is right thing to do.

I would put money on the fact the tires are out of balance. As long as the shop did the balancing in the first place, take it back to them and tell them to check their work. Something is wrong there and they should be the ones to fix it on their dime. If there was no issue before with the struts/shocks, there should be no problem with them after the tire ...
