If it started as soon as the tyres were changed then there is probably a key link to it.

Is there more than 2mm difference between the old and new tyres? More than 2mm and it could be upsetting the xDrive system.

Have you had another tyre place check the balance?

Logic says, as noted by X5Sport it must be new tyres related. Either poor balancing on the front pair or possibly too big a discrepancy between front and rear tread depths.

Its possible since they were balanced a weight has fallen off. I think a return visit to the tyre emporium is your first and obviously the easiest step.
