Me again :( ... Occasional "Rumble Strip" feeling when driving ...
2003 Boxster base, approx 59000 miles

Issue: Occasionally, when driving (over 40 or so) I get this sensation that seems to be emanating from the "back" like I am driving over rubble strips. Nothing too serious, just that subtle noise and "feeling." It goes away with time and, occasionally, seems to correspond with letting off the gas (similarly, occasionally, accelerating seems to eliminate the "feeling")

Any ideas. Good news is always appreciative especially where the wife is beginning to question our purchase lol

EDIT: Oh, and if it matters, the rear tires are definitely in need of replacement
