Some things to check for would be radial pull, which is a belt problem within the tire plies, and for proper torque on the lug nuts.

It’s also possible that you have a defective wheel, even though they are new.

I would rotate tires front to rear and see if the problem follows the tires. Then you can start narrowing it down from there.

If your truck is a 4X4 it may be the front CV joints on the drivers side.
