Thanks for all of the responses! I am going to look into each of the areas mentioned.
I don't know if there are beads or powder in the tires or not. I didn't put these tires on. It feels just like a flat spot on the tire so could that be similar to how the beads or powder would act? Also is there any way to know if it has beads in it without breaking down the tire?
Thanks again,

Typically I think you can hear them rolling around when starting out and sometimes after a stop. I know my Centramatics, which are sort of a bit similar, make a very distinctive sound when tooling around at low speeds, kind of a shooka-shooka-shooka sound.
Since the problem doesn't go away with speed but rather with time, I would be very surprised if it's tire balance beads or something similar. They ought to get themselves distributed and sorted out at a relatively low speed, maybe 25-35 mph, below where you tend to feel out of balance wheels/tires. I'd guess a warped rotor and a somewhat sticky caliper, or something along those lines, but that's just a guess.
