Could have been the weather or road.

two things make tires vibrate on the J.

(1.) Unbalanced tire(2.) Early morning ice formed somewhere on the rim or brake rotor. This goes away as the ice melts.

Unblanced tires are dangerous especially at highway speeds. They effect vehgicle handling. They will also destroy the tread on your tire. Most shops (both ma and pa and big chains) have a roadforce balancing machine. the price varies, but it isn't expensive. Its cheaper than new tires or your insurance deductible.
