Tire inflation does not impact the bumpiness/vibration you are experiencing. Check to see that your wheels are properly balanced. Perhaps a weight came off the wheel or you have another problem related to an out of balance assembly.

If the car vibrates while you are driving, the common cuase is improperly balanced tires.

I, too, use the recommended 35F/33R for both my summer performance tires and my winter tires. I use slightly lower pressures for my R compound track tires for track use.

However, I agree with the others; vibration problems rarely have anything to do with the inflation pressure used, and improper wheel/tire balance is the most common cause.

yeah alignment has nothing to do with vibration problems and if the guy who did your alignment knows what he was doing, then he should have checked the air before doing your alignment
