Default Rough Ride??

I test drove a 2003 yesterday. The car had a weird vibration or abrasive ride quality to it. I have driven a half dozen C5s before and never noticed it. This car had the original runflats ( updated ) on it. It was not coming from the front end. I noticed it around 40 mph and it did not seem to get worse with speeds. The dealer said it had to be the tires???

P.S. The car had 24k on it and seemed well cared for!
