Ok, This is where I'm at so far. Apparently Goodyear has agreed to replace two tires only. Which two? The rears are by far the worse so I will opt for that change. The tires do say "Made in USA". The Vibrations seem to be more the whole car than just the steering wheel. I can tell you that I can feel what seems to be flat spotting from parking the car. This is very minor and goes away after a few miles of normal driving. This is not the same as what I have been experiencing. Maybe some good smokey burnouts would round out these tires but quite honestly I have never done that before. I am convinced it is not a shock issue in that the shocks were all replaced with new coilovers almost a year ago and I did not have the problems until I changed out the tires. I thought going to the Goodyears would be an upgrade from the BFG TA radials I had before. That hasn't been the case. I hope to have this resolved next week. I will keep you all posted with my results.

From all the great reviews of the GY tires I should be happy and I'm not. Looks yes-performance no.

Thanks for all the sugesstions and help.

John
