Default steering wheel vibration....

i have an appointment with my dealer on tuesday to get it checked out but i wanted to get some feedback from the board on the issue beforehand

i have a 2018 7mt 991.2 c2s i purchased it new this year, had 40 miles on the odometer when i bot it... i absolutely love the car in every way shape and form, i have about 800 miles on it now and have a hard time keeping it under 4500 prm, cant wait till i can finally open her up

the only issue i have is that i am noticing a slight steering wheel vibration at all speeds, its not a violent vibration by any means but even just cruising down the neighborhood streets i notice it... at highway speeds, it does feel like the vibration is higher frequency but it is noticeable at all speeds

the car tracks straight as an arrow, no alignment issues... there is no shimmy at all in steering wheel at low or high speeds.... there is no extra vibration when the engine is revved, there is no vibration felt thru the stick shift

i had tested 2 porsche cars before i bot this one and didnt notice any vibration thru the wheel at that time

so i guess my questions are, how much vibration is normal to be felt thru our steering wheel... i realize these are performance cars and not luxury ones but it does seem a tad excessive? second, given that my car is 07/18 build and sat at the dealership till 05/19, is there a chance that my pzero pirellis are flat spotted?

anyone have any thoughts? thanks

Does it have any spacers on it.

After 800 miles flat spots on tires would have resolved itself. I'd recommend dealer look at it and then let us know.

thanks... i agree, after 800 miles i assumed flat spotting would have been resolved, at least somewhat but i have noticed no changes

i read the thread below and saw the OP's post on spacers causing some issues... my car is 100% stock
