Default Slight Vibration problem, need advice

Hi,

It seems that I have a very annoying vibration after I had my tires replaced. I replaced stock tires for 305/75/r16 on stock rims.
The vibration is very noticeable 50+. It vibrates for a few seconds then smooths out then vibrates again over and over and I am really finding this annoying. Does anyone have a clue as to what causes this and is there a way to fix it?

Please help.

Thanks

The larger the tire, the harder it is to balance. Take them to a shop that does dynamic balancing.

Also, are these cheap brand tires or real tires?

Ok so it looks like a balancing issue so I will see if I can have them look into the issue. Thanks for the information.
