It's not revs related, and it does vary some with road surfaces so the smoother the surface the better/less the vibes are.
When I got the wheels balanced at the weekend I also had them rotated (all RFT, moved 4k old Pirelli C7s from front to back, 18k old RE050A from back to front) but that's not changed it. Surely I'd be unlucky to have harsh tyres from 2 manufacturers at different ages.
So I just don't know if I'm being totally anal or there's something else to investigate. I'm trying to ignore it to try and rule out my head  but roads I don't remember 'feeling' are a lot more obvious now.

Well like I said, you know your own car and even if you can't describe it properly, you know something has changed or something is wrong.
But convincing anybody else, such as the engineers, you'll unfortunately have great difficulty with.
