since you say the vibration is more when the car has been stoped, thats because the tyres get cold, as they heat up, the preasure rises to normal... i still suggest checking your preasure..

My Ride: Its a 535d M-Sport... 19" Alloys, Carbon Black, Lots of bits and I love it!
I have just got through my first set of Conti's on the two back (only 17.5k miles out of the buggers!!) just swapped to Michelins, and although they feel better, something isn't quite right... Is it because I have continentals on the front (17.5k miles worse for wear!) and two Michelins (brand new) on the back??

Hi k44ent!,
I have a similar experience with my Dunlop SportMaxx (in the same dimensions as yours). It takes some 20 km's (12,5 miles) before they stop vibrating if the car has been parked during the night. Dunlop says it's normal as the tire is built up by nylon and it stretches. I had almost as much vibrations with my old setup; Michelin PS1.
So, if you can live with it; take it easy. No tire shop can rebalance them as it's "nothing" wrong with the tire/rim.
