Were there tires on the wheels when you took them to the shop? A shop would generally do the tires to replicate what they removed.

I would think a shop would like to correct the error BUT for your needs maybe they do well. Directional tread is generally done to reduce hydroplaning and route water more effectively through the tread. If storage is your only intention OR perhaps a few short trips during the winter maybe it's irrelevant.

What do the tires do at speed on the OE wheels? Is your 65MPH vibration still there? Worse or better?
