Steering Vibration early in the morning

Hey guys, I recently got a new springs for the car (HandR VTFs) and my previous tires (PS4S) were kinda worn out prematurely (insides were worn out, probably due to camber issues from lowering) so I got a new set of tires, the indy 500 from firestone. But after getting the new tires, the car seems to be vibrating quite a bit early in the morning and gets progressively better, as in the vibration almost goes away as I drive for a few minutes. But there very very faint vibration all the time, like you really need to concentrate to feel it. Can anyone tell me why is this happening? May be I got a bad set of tires?

To drive the point home, definitely sounds like a balancing issue.

I have the indy 500's and dont have a vibration issue.
Also verify they have the correct psi in the tires (i like 37psi cold in mine). if they are too low (like 20's) and you are getting a flat spot from overnight sitting i could see a vibration for the first mile or so.

How do you like them compared to the PS4's? I am about due for a rear set and was thinking of trying out the PS4's but they have similar traction and ratings so may not be worth the extra $.

They did a road force balance. I just noticed that one of the rear wheel has a large amount of weights in them. Looks like shoddy work to me. Will take it in this weekend.

Some tires actually go out-of-round (develop flat spot) after period of time of car begin stationary. After driving the car for a bit, they warm up and after rolling they go back to perfect round shape.

I think that is the case with my new tires. It is flatspotting, But it is doing it overnight, Which does not seem normal to me.
