Weird feeling at 70mph

Just thought i would ask here.
Went on my first road trip yesterday to cornwall (350 miles) UK
Noticed something weird at about 60/70 mph
I'm getting a very tiny feeling on the steering wheel, like i can feel the road. Its not like a vibration and i can't feel it on top of the plastic centre of the wheel, only when i grip the rim.
Brand new car, no mods,pirelli tyres. I can get the balance and alignment checked i suppose and its going in for break in service soon. Goes in a straight line,doesn't wander. Breaks pull up nice.
Any ideas ?

If it was the past few days, it was close to freezing in the West Country (I was in Bristol over the weekend). The PZeros or MP4S tyres on the G87 will often give some vibration near the freezing point due to the inflexibility of the rubber and potential flat spotting after being parked for a while. This issue should go away at higher temperatures.

I always recommend having an alignment done with the car. A good amount of cars that come out for some reason or another are out of alignment.

Alignment and ensure wheels are torqued to spec.
