I just installed 4 new tires, balanced and alignment done. Car ran nicely for a while then I noticed a vibration on front driver side at low speed. It's also noticeable during slow left turns. Unfortunately, this problem isn't consistent. It seems to occur after a prolong drive on the highway - which is fine. But, when I slow down at toll plaza then try to accellerate, i notice the vibration. Once it begins, it stays as long as I am on local roads under 45 mph. Then, next morning when it's cold, it is gone again.
