Alright here is an update

1. I had DT replace all 4 tires with new tires and this time I went back to OE size
2. I then had had the car taken to a reputable (confirmed with multiple car groups) shop in Seattle to do an alignment and tire balancing

Neither of this has fixed the issue. I have taken it to two different Nissan dealers and they didn’t find a mechanical issue.

Seems like an axle other kind of issue. Not sure what to do but given the car is under warranty, it’s something I want fixed!

any update for you issue ?
i got the same problem as your and after 2 time balance it's getting worse and worse , i guess i need the road force balance before i try the new tire and wheel . hope you can fix it and help us , thanks

Make sure you road force balance them - you will get vibrations at speed if they don’t.

i just took it to nissan dealer to do the balance and alignment after they confirmed that they have the Nissan GTR certificate tech and it's good now . no vibration at all . but be careful and all way ask for the price before u let them do it . dealer is stealer . i make the appointment online and their website only charged me $99.95 plus tax but after they get it done they show me the bill for around $449.4 ($225 alignment + $195 balance 4 tire + tax ) .

Ouch $$$. Yes, have heard of all the balance issues all across the board. I'm not sure I understand it fully. I feel like most times it just comes down to incompetence. I mount and balance my own tires as well as many others on a daily basis. Since having my powder coat shop I need to be able to mount and balance because I have so many customers that bring wheels with tires mounted and even more customers that just want to drop off the vehicle and pick it back up with the wheels and/or calipers powder coated and almost always new tires at the same time, I have tire accounts also. I'll be honest, I don't have the most badass tire machines, but I have done C8 Corvettes with 325/30 runflats without issue. Though those are easy compared to some of the SUV's on the road these days or these guys with the super duty trucks and stretched tires. Anyway, I don't have road force balance capability yet am able to achieve wheel balance. I always make sure to line up the dot on the tire with the valve stem. Tire manufacturers put these dots to tell you where to mount the tire. The lightest part of the tire is at the dot so you line it up with valve stem because of the extra weight there. If you walk a new car lot, you'll see that these dots are rarely lined up properly. I do believe it makes a difference. Don't get me wrong, we struggle sometimes as well with these really heavy large truck wheels and such. Anyway, this is something that can be discussed for days on end. Also, the amount of tolerable/noticeable vibration is subjective. We tend to expect a lot from our vehicles. There is so much stuff "whirring" around at speed in our cars, it's amazing to be able to accomplish a somewhat vibration free ride. It's never going to be an S class mercedes in that respect. Though I'm sure they may vibrate in certain conditions as well.
