As a tyre technician for almost 4 years now and working with some of the most up to date equipment i would be saying that one of your wheels has thrown a weight off or you have purchased cheap tyres and they have runout in them (out of round)... as for 19" and 20" wheels anything around 8" to 8.5" wide will buckle really easily, even on the smallest pot hole!!! Before taking it to a tyre shop and getting them to diagnose it, jack up your front wheels and put one hand at the top and one at the bottem of the rim and push and pull to see if it has any movement in it (wheel bareing)... then do the same thing but on the left and right side of the wheel... check for movement (tie rod ends) (caster rod bushes)!!! Also wheel alighnment is only to make sure the car is steering straight, steering wheel is straight, and tyres are wearing properly!! (ie. Tow, Camber / Caster)... Hope this info helps!!!
