I drove off the lot with one tire pressurized around 75 PSI. Got about halfway home (~10 mi) before vibration started and steadily increased. By the time I detoured to my friend's house nearby, the rear driver tire had a bulge on the inside sidewall about the size of a football (will upload pic when I get home - added, see below). Put on the spare and drove it back to the dealership. They got me fixed up and on my way, but seriously, wtf...
