Doug I,
I can confirm your thoughts on the BFGs, the front tires were replaced on mine under the tire warranty because the BFG dealer couldn't balance them. As they are now, the tire shop says it's the best they can do without adding weights to the outer rim (might try that soon). They did the Hunter "road force" balance and made me a believer. Since then I've tried various air pressures and found that the lower (22 lbs) air pressure in the front tires "masks" the out of round / balance of the BFGs for highway cruising. Another issue with the BDR is the solid steering column. I'm told that the addition of a flex or "rag" joint in the column would help a lot.
Another problem I'm having with the BFGs - I can't wear the %$#&^*@ things out
