Could be a lot of different things or combination:
- worn tires
- uneven tire inflation
- worn/bent tie rod
- worn shocks
- front wheels out of alignment
- lost a wheel weight

Vibrations like that are sometimes caused by a bad CV joint. If it's a CV joint the vibration should sound like it's coming from near the tire. It's not to rare with cars that have that many miles in that short of time. If that's the case it's upwards $100. Not too bad. It could also just be that your tires need rotating. That's usally free if you go to the place you bought the tires from.

I would go to a TIRE SHOP and get it checked. If it's not tires or front end, both can be checked with tire check, then you need a repair shop. Stay away from dealers. They know the least and charge the most.

Probably a wheel out of balance. This is common, and a cheap fix - but if you wait too long, you'll need new tyres instead.
Good luck!

The tires would cause this, maybe they need rotated and balanced or just new ones.
