Default cold vibrations

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed the MY03 having driveline vibrations during cold driving. If i let the engine reach the 3rd bar on the temp gauge before taking off it feels fine. However, if i leave sooner it seems as if something in the driveline is not quite right. I don't believe this has anything to do with the final drive, recenttly replaced trans fluid with Honda MTF and diff with LE607. Don't get me wrong, i don't take off from the get on a cold engine/driveline, i always like warming things up. I'm just wondering if it's me being too sensitive, as if i could according to the wife.

How cold is the weather? You probably don't want to be using LE-607 if its getting below the 30's. I am in Minnesota but store my car for the winter so LE-607 is fine.

It's most likely a cold tire vibration, which has been known to happen with many performance tires.

As soon as the tires warm up, it goes away.

My 2nd set of S02's vibrated worse than my 1st, and my set of 18" S03's vibrate cold worse than any of the previous sets of tires. (2 sets of S02's, 1 set of Re750's and 1 set of S03's.)
