Maybe the strut issue is causing the problem in your car also? I think it was the struts that were replaced on others cars.

This is super annoying! Please keep this thread updated with any progress - I will do the same. let's hope we get this fixed - i bet it is the same issue with our cars.
It was quite annoying to me before the vibration issue got resolved. Mine has 19" performance and there was no vibration on 1sr set of tires. It started when I first changed my front tires at Little over 12k miles (my first set of rear tires only last 6k miles......).

I think the 19" set is a bit more sensitive on balance especially on front end.

It took 2 visits to the dealer to fix it. With or without the vibration, it makes big difference in feeling while I drive the car!! Now I am a lot more peaceful when cruising around 75-90miles in highway.

It does not make much difference when I push it very hard though......

As for the strut potential issue, when I turn the wheel close to full turn when car is parked, it does sometimes create a subtle clicking sound. Not all the time but it is frequent enough to catch my attention.

The wheel turning issue exists does not matter before or after the vibration. I am not so sure if two things are linked.
