My tires make a funny noise when I drive it what could it be?

My car makes a "thump thump thump thump" noise near the front driver side tire....also my steering wheel shakes a bit more than it use to...yet as far as I can tell the tire is not rubbing against the front or the body of the car...the aligment seems to be a little off but not major....what could this possibly be?

I need to drive to pick my friend up in a town 20 miles away...ive been driving it for two weeks at speeds of 60 mph and not really any problems other than the noise and shake....

Can I drive it?!

PS the tires are pretty decently new...they have a lot of tread left.

    the tires could either be out of balance, or out of round. Both conditions should have been looked at by your tire shop when the new tires were put on.

    HAVE A SHOP LOOK AT THE TIRE.

    Are you willing to possibly cause a major accident if there is a tire issue?

    There is nothing we can do on here.

    As a mechanic, I would need to INSPECT the tire.

    I don't recommend you drive on a tire that is unknown.
