Agreed, plus it's somewhat difficult to feel/see the rebound versus subsequent bounce from inside the cabin, hence my comment about being more easily seen from someone outside the vehicle.
As for scalloping of tire tread, that can be easily felt by running your hand around a tire tread surface. If it slides pretty easily in a counter-clockwise direction but catches and you can feel high points when sliding your hand in a clockwise position, that indicates scalloping/cupping and suggests something isn't right. It could be struts/springs, it could be a balance issue, or it could be an alignment issue. In some cases, it could be a tire design issue (I don't think I ever saw a Goodyear Invicta tire that didn't have some amount of cupping).
