What would cause cupped tires to work on one car and not another? Suspension? (more)
I took the cupped tires that I had put on the front and moved them to the back, and that cut down on the vibration somewhat.
The guy I bought the wheels/tires from said he didn't have a problem with them on his A4, but he was also running some kind of aftermarket suspension, and I'm stock.
Might this explain why he didn't have a problem (or so he claims) and I do?
I'm still hoping it's just the tires and not any bends in the wheels that I can't see. I'll know for sure when I go in to get the tires changed next week.

If the car was lowered, it might have been riding more on the inside
edge of the tires. How do they look wear-wise?
With your stock suspension, you are probably more on the flat surface of the tire.
