Obviously, a problem caused by the new Michelin Pilots!

Hi guys, I have w220 and its been vibrating every time i start up the engine. whenever i rev up the engine it would vibrate through the seats however i notice that once the engine temperature reach 90c +. whenever i drive on the highway the engine cools to about 80C and it would start to vibrate but when i stop and let the temperature rise it would be smooth again... I was wondering if anyone else has experrience this or have any clue whats wrong with my car thanks!
Ive changed my trans mount and motor mounts recenetly

I have a similar problem at ~2300 RPM. Horrible when cold, tolerable as the engine warms up. I suspect the vibration dampener is the root cause. Interestingly, I've experienced this on other, local larger engine W220's. I think the vibration tones down as the mounts warm up; they become less rigid. Since I have an AMG, the vibration dampener ain't a cheap item for me. Saving me pennies! LOL
Cheers,
Jeff
