Vibration at 60mph with new Bridgestone RE950 tires

Based on the good feedback here and on TireRack.com, I had new Bridgestone RE950's installed on Friday to replace the worn out OEM Michelin MXV's on my 2000 9-3.
As always with new tires, the ride and grip of the new tires was a vast improvement over the old, worn, tires, but I have noticed one slight oddity over the weekend. The tires are very quiet and smooth until the car reaches about 60mph. At that point, they are still quiet, but at cruising speeds between 60mph - 67mph, I feel some added vibration through the steering wheel, door armrest, etc. It seems to drop off some past 67mph, but I haven't had the chance yet to run it up past 70mph yet to see if it smoothes back out completely.
I don't remember noticing anything like this with the Michelins. Is this due to some kind of resonance frequency with these tires at 60mph, something wrong with this particular set of tires, bad balancing, or something else?
