Good tires can do it as well, but it is usually due to some kind of trauma to the tire. Like a really bad pot hole.
My suggestion.... if you can.... is borrow a set of wheels and tires. See if the problem goes away.

That makes sense - I started feeling this issue on my old tires - Nankangs from the PO - although they felt great for about 8k miles. The new Continentals should be better, but there's always the possibility. The thing that miffs me is that every single wheel balancing has found them to be a bit out of balance, even if it was just recently done with no trauma in between.
