Need further info. Does it happen when under power or coasting? Can you feel it in the steering wheel? Is the vibration coming from the front or rear? As you can see, having as much info is better for us to help in the diagnosis.

Also does the vibration increase or decrease with speed? Can you make it go away after a certain speed?

Check your rear u-joint for play. Possible u-joint going out.

put it in neutral and try shaking the driveshaft towards the rear/u-joint...if it moves replace the u-joint.

My truck was doing same thing and the u-joint was bad..My truck also did it above 90 and i found out driveshaft was bad....

You just might have an out of balance or bad tire. I know they are brand new but a defective one I would not rule out. Maybe a slight bent rim but you should feel that at lower speeds too.

They just don't make tires like they did many moons ago do they hydra. Seems to me that they are getting cheaply made at a higher price.
