sounds like toe issue to me. Also, definately get an alignment because you dont want to wear out those babies...

oh and also maybe the tires arent properly balenced

Balancing. If it continues, have the dealer you bought them from check to see if one of them is out of round.

Time for a basic lesson in alignment. First off, a tire shake is never caused by alignment. Shake in the steering wheel is most likely from a front tire being out of balance. Hopefully it isnt from loose lugnuts, check that as well. The only way to check that the alignment is out is tire wear or a pull. Usually a pull is from the caster being out, caster is a non tire wearing adjustment and the caster adjustment on a mustang is very little. you will most likely get a pull from a mustang the wider of tire you put on. Second and third are toe and camber. These usually show wear on the inside and outside shoulders of the tread on a tire. You usually cant feel these adjustments being out.
