I doubt very much this has anything to do with the tires or alignment. It sounds like you have misfiring in the engine, possibly because of a faulty sensor. The first thing to do is to check whether you still have a warranty with such low mileage - your dealer may fix it for free! If the warranty has expired, get a readout of the engine trouble code. The fix may be as simple as spraying throttle body cleaner into the Mass Airflow Sensor (careful - there are very fragile fine wires inside), or you may have a loose connection on the oxygen sensor (sometimes it gets bumped during an oil change on this model).

Sounds like this shop is trying to take advantage of you because you're a female and unlikely to be knowledgeable about cars. If you have a male relative. friend, significant other, co-worker, etc. , ask him to take your car to this shop and ask the service advisor about the condition of the tires. I'd bet a week's pay that he gets a different story (of course, I'm now retired so I don't get paid weekly LOL). It's a cruel and all to common practice. If you can't enlist any help, take your car to a different shop and have them check it out. I think you're being swindled..

make sure all of your tires match (same brand and size) . Also if one tire is significantly more worn then the others, it can cause this as well. When you rotated and balanced your tires, did you replace just one? If so, and the others aren't close to new, it will cause this.

2004 Tahoe- Check Tire System Monitor- RRRing vibration/noise

chevrolet uses tire pressure sensors for the system, check the tire pressure in all tires including spare and they should be set to about 38psi. If any of the tires are low it will trigger the abs because the abs system goes off wheel speed and a low tire will throw off the reading.

I recommend taking your vehicle to a shop (any shop) that use a Hunter tire balancer. These machines can detect all variables that affect ride quality by not only spinning the rim, but it uses a roller to inspect the tire itself for its "road force". They can also measure the rim while on the machine for run-out to detect for a bent rim. There can be times when a tire can be mounted to the wheel in a postion that promotes more vibration, but the hunter machines can check and show the correct location to minimize the feel to the driver. Here is a picture of the kind of balancer you want your vehicle serviced at. Please let me know how things work out.7e27679.jpg
