Default Gary: need advice on tire issue

I bought the Conts Extreme about a month back. All my stock rims are perfect performance shape (besides cosmetic scratches).After the install (mount & balance), it vibrated driving over 60mph. So Tirerack replaced the suggested (by tire shop) culprit (Front right). After that install, it still had the vibrations. Felt more on the Left side now. So Tirerack sent another replacement tire.

It still had the vibrations so I decided to rotate the backs to front. Now...it's smoother but still some vibrations at higher speeds. But here's the thing...driving between 20 - 40 mph...it feels like the tires have bubbles in them cuzing that "thump, thump" feeling. I reinstall the wheels, but it still has that problem.

Am I just very unlucky with these tires? Will Tirerack replace them with a new/different set of tires? What are my options?

thanks,

Sounds like its still fault of the tires to me... especially since the vibration seems to have followed the tire.
