Talking Re: Strange vibration when cold

I've spoken with some "car people" who've told me that certain tires, and older tires, are more prone to it than others. I don't know the reality of that statement yet as I'm still on my original tires, so maybe someone else can address it.

You'll find other threads on this subject on the forums if you want to check them out.
Common with high performance tires. Just like F1 Cars tires have to be warm for utmost performance. I live in Canada and all my previous rides that had this type tire will have vibration until tire has warmed up, generally takes about 3-5 kilometers.
