Default Bought New Tires

A long time ago here on the forum I posted a question on what would make a very funny feel, almost a vibration in the ride of my 2008 H3.
Some suggested that I try tires.
Well I just installed new BF Goodrich T/A tires today and as far as I can tell the feel of vibration is gone.
The tires I took off were the OEM Goodyear Wranglers.

You need to rotate your tires with every oil change, regardless of brand. It's important you do this with your new BFG's too!

Yup, old tires tend to get hard and wear funny if not looked after.

I rotate my tires every 3000, not with every oil change. Our oil changes are usually between 7 and 9 thousand miles. That's too long to wait to rotate, especially if you have larger more aggressive tires on.

I'm thinking the old OEM tires got hard and did wear oddly. I did rotate often.

Thank you guys for the input and helping me.
