2019 Platinum reserve vibration issues

Recently purchased, 6/19. Returned to dealership several times: nothing wrong!
Car rides like an old truck with its 19" wheels, constant vibration, I feel all the road changes in the seat, floor, console, a bit in the steering wheel.
I had a 2017 Platinum that was a genuine road car, very smooth and comfortable, great highway car.
I thought I was stepping up by buying the 2019 Platinum Reserve, boy, was I fooled!
Anyone else? And how did you resolve this?

Before I bought my platinum with brings 18". I had a 2015 Grand Touring Mazda 6 with 19" wheels. That was the reason why I changed that car in 3 years. with Those 19" I could feel every bump on the road. Try to lower the tire pressure to 32 to see if it is better...another thing when you need to replace those tires..they are hard to find and expensive..Worst case scenario try to switch them for 18" rims and get touring tires

Thanks for the input, I may switch to 2018 Maxima 18" wheels and tires. Don't like giving up the Reserve wheels.

You've have this car for a month, did the vibrations just recently start or were they there during your test drive?

They were always there, I had assumed that a 'finer' balance would resolve the vibrations. The dealer and Discount Tire both said that the tires were balanced correctly, then I realized that I had a more serious problem.

Every new one I drove vibrated. Dealer swapped wheels and tires...no fix. I did not buy for this reason. I assumed CVT.

Sorry to say you missed the opportunity to hold the car hostage while the dealer still owned it. The dealer fixes it or no sale. To rule out the tires and rims and a balance have the dealer exchange 4 wheels from another car that you test for smooth ride and put them on your car for a test. Vibration still there its not your wheels, probable something in the suspension. vibration goes away, one or more wheels are bad.
