Couple of points:
You say the alignment was done. Please post the facts, particularly CASTER ANGLE.
All new tires have a break in period when handling is not as good as it will be as they break in. This is particularly true of tires with deep tread.
As already suggested, you want weight forward. Ideal weight distribution is to have the same percent of GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating-- found on the plaque near the driver's area) on each axle.
Adding a panhard rod (aka track bar)to the back would be the first thing I would do. Your 2004 already has one in front.
