I get this on occasion too. Mostly after car has been left for a couple of days or parked with one tire on an uneven surface. Almost like tire is out of round for a few minutes.

Flat spots on the tires? What brand of tire did you go to? I just switched to Cont. DWS and haven't had that problem!

My jeep does this, I think the tires take a set when it is parked. It's real bad, even 8 hrs. in the parking lot at work will cause vibes but they go away as soon as the tires warm up.

The wheels were not balanced properly, take it back to them and inform them to recheck it. Be sure to provide all details of what you are suffering from.

If it goes away then I don't think a re-balance will help. I think its just tires being slightly out of round for a few minutes.

I agree....what a nightmare. Make the move from rfts to Pilot Super Sports, and the wheels vibrate. I hope that doesn't happen to me. My original rfts on 189's have zero vibration after 6 years, and my snows do not vibrate. Can't understand how new tires could vibrate....
