I wouldn't say there is a vibration exactly (the engine is smooth), but there is a buzzing kind of sound in the car that disappears as soon as you step on the gas. The faint clatter at idle is a different sound. It doesn't bother me.

As for the tires, I'd consider changing to non run flats but only if I can have a space saver spare. There didn't seem to be any place to attach a spare in the under floor storage area. How is yours secured?
