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.

Obvously you've not come across any of my posts on them, I had the same issues.

When I tried to balance them for the first time, they were SO bad I just gave up and installed them as is. The car shook so bad over 70mph that it would shake the windshield and body panels loose.

I recently gave balancing them another shot after 7k miles of use. They still took a lot of weight, but are now balanced, and the car is plenty smooth over 70mph. They're still badly out of round when you spin them on the balancer though.
