Default Steering wheel vibrations

I am experiencing a slight steering wheel vibration at highway speeds, only when i let go of the steering wheel? Is this normal? I make several 6-7 hour trips on the interstate highways and i need a stable car!

What should I tell audi?

Do a quick search on this topic and you'll find a boatload of stuff. Or just scroll down one page... it's all there.

How hard were you driving it before you parked it the night before?

It varies on brand of tire, but if you're hot ******* it at high speeds and park the car, overnight the tires can flatspot a bit. The reason it varies is dependent on how hot you got things before parking the car. How cold it got and how cold it still is when you first start out.

In any event, if it's not gone after 15 minutes on the highway, you threw a weight and need to get your wheels rebalanced. You shouldn't feel anything in the wheel besides the road.
