Default 20" vs. 19" wheels/steering feel

Hi All, I have a '20 F Type coupe with 20" wheels. One already had to be repaired even though I swear I didn't hit anything. If I so much as touch the double yellow line there's an annoying vibration in the steering wheel. I had a 17" F Type coupe with 19" wheels which never had any such issues. Also, although I've adored both cars, the '17 had a slightly more direct steering feel. Both cars are V6(380) RWD.
Questions: Did Jaguar change the steering feel between '17 and '20? More boost, for example...
Does anyone have issues with the 20" wheels?
Thanks!

I have a 16 & 17 both with 20" wheels and have no problems. Take it to a tire shop and have them check the balance and roundness of the wheels.

The vibration sounds like a lane departure warning.

I agree with eeeeek. I live in the mountains and much of my traveling is on the narrow two lane State Highways. Even when not driving in a spirited fashion it is difficult to keep my 2021 F Type centered in the lane, it's either crossing the center line or crossing the painted line for the shoulder. Although I am very careful not to be doing that around blind corners. The Lane Departure warning was going off all the time. I didn't try the Lane Keep Assist feature, I knew that would be fighting me all the time as it actually applies some steering assist when triggered.

I would try getting into the menu and shutting off those features, assuming that they are enabled.
