HATE rough concrete.

I was thinking about the same as the vibration comes and goes depend on the fwy. I think these wide summer tires are also more sensitive to road surface condition as well.

Do you also get slight vibration on certain road surface?

Yea, though the whole car.

I can imagine that the whole car could get some vibration if the pavement is rough, but what about vibration/shake on the steering wheel while on different fwy surface?

a lot of the summer tires are actually soft enough that over night they can actually develop a flat spot when its colder out and they cool off in that position over night . my car will actually vibrate for about the first 10 to 15 mins driving when its cold outside until the tires warm up a little and they are just dunlop sport tires . the vibration is not bad at all but its enough you can feel it in the wheel . its usually right between 65 and 70 that its the most noticeable . once they warm up it goes right away . btw the softer the compound of the tire the worse this affect can be . pay attention to when it does it . it may be just that simple .

Thanks all for the responses.

will take it back and have them check the balance of the tires.
