Since new I have noticed a rather disturbing feel when driving my car at low speeds . It has felt like the front tires were flat . I now have found that all 4 wheels are out of round & can not be balanced , The dealer has sent them out to be repaired . Has anyone else experienced a similar clunky feel ?
I had a problem with my car pulling to the right almost from purchase. Took it back, they alligned it, but problem persisted. Finally @ 6K miles found that both front tires had radial problem. Dealer had both front tires replaced and now tracks great.

RE: Out Of Round Wheels
I have had the same vibration.
Never thought about the rims being out of round.
I had to have my rims replaced after they were scratched during tire change. Maybe the new ones will be balanced.
Everyone needs to be careful when having your tires changed, the tire work should be done from the rear side of the rim to avoid scratching the powder coated front side.
Wow, the wheels? I've heard of out of round tires, but all 4 wheels? That's an expensive replacement. Might as well go for the 19 inch AMG wheels if that's the case.
