They are not. They are Cooper 20 inch.

I will rotate them tomorrow and see if that helps. Otherwise, off to balance.

The 65 mph and up could be wheel imbalance. Did you drive it much after you had the new tires installed? You said you had them put on a few thousand miles before storing it so if they were balanced when you put it away, they pretty much don't unbalance while sitting.

So sitting with low tire pressure for a while likely led to flat spots. Just my guess.
I never really noticed the issue as bad as it is now. There was a slight vibration when I first got the tires but I assumed is was related to the deep tread. They did seem to wear a little and the issue went away. I have only put about 10 miles on since I first noticed this. I will drive a little more after I rotate and see if it goes away.

Thanks everyone!
