Vibration @ 40MPH - Does the severe cold in the NE effect Mich Tires ?

Have a 2013 TL with 18Mich tires here in the NE . Weather as all of you know is crazy cold lately. Noticed vibration @ about 40MPH and then it goes away at 50MPH. I did have a left rear tire patced due to a small leak 4 weeks ago.
Acura says they are experiancing alot of calls on this topic.

Any thoughts ?? Thanks Much !!

I have the Mich Alpin PA4's with under 1k miles on them. I live in Iowa and with all the recent cold temps I haven't had any issues with vibration. They do seem to grip better the colder it gets tho. Awesome winter tire.

The only cold weather issues I've had with tires is right after start up when the car has been sitting for a while. Some tires are more susceptible to flatspotting in the cold but it should go away after the tire warms up.

Thanks much I have OE-> Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 All-Season tires Grip has been fine - Although interesting article via Tire Rack which states possible " flattening" with certain tires due to extended cold periods ....Once you drive for a 10 -20 minutes the vibration ( tire flattening) corrects it self - Curious if anyone else in has had this same experiance
