Default Vibration problem

Need some advice what to do.

MY05 has oem wheels and GoodYear Eagle F1 All-Season right now (I'm running those after my summer set of wheels was stolen the other night).

After I put my all season back after summer set, I noticed vibration coming from rear end on highway speeds (60+). So I decided re-balance all four wheels. Right after NTB did their job I got on highway and no more vibration.
Next day I had to go to work and it is about 20 miles highway run and then again, vibration on high speeds. Re-balanced again, same story next day. So I though screw it and decided to drive with it until I get a new apartment with a garage and get new set of wheels and tires.

Todays outside temperature a bit cooler than last two weeks, and the thing is that I almost couldn't feel the vibration today when I drive on highway.

My stolen summer tire set was RE760 Sport on new SSRs Type-C and no vibration at all.

So this long story said, my question is: is there any possibility that GoodYear All-Season may deform somehow depending on road temperature(as a result tire temperature)? Coz it is pretty confusing to me.

Make sure the wheels are on the right axle. The temps would not affect the vibration. You may have a slight vibration first thing in the morning until the tires heat up.
