not tightening the lug nuts in a star pattern will cause this....check that. Might be the tire too but unlikely.

Maybe a road force balance needed?

What about your tires?

How many miles on them and what brand?

This is the answer I got from the Goodyear Dunlop Tires Nordic

"There is a phenomena called morning flat spotting. This you can experience
in all high performance tires and is due to a reinforcement layer of nylon on top
of the steel belts that is laying under the tread area.

This is a well know phenomena. But, this phenomena can only effect the
performance in a few kilometers in the start of a ride after parking
several hours or in the morning after over night parking. If you experience
vibration still after max 10 km then you probably have additional factors
contributing to the vibration.

I recommend you to contact your tire dealer who mounted the tires to review
mounting and balancing as well as centering of the assemblies on the axle
hub etc. This to exclude the most common reasons for vibration problems."
