Default BillBoards and MY TEST DRIVE!!! Way different!

I have been a Roadster owner for the last 6+ years. I built a nice, very high end FFR. I went with all the best equipment possible with the exclusion of tires. I read and read and read every thread and asked many folks what worked best for the ride, but also the look. I went with BFGs as they last, look and drive as good as most. This is with exception to anything other than 15" dia tires. I had helped in the beginning getting Avons on board but never went with them as I just wanted more bulging sidewalls for the look.
Recently I redid my car, putting a brand new body on with the Paint job by the "Batman", Jeff Miller. Car is sweet but missing something. Which brings me to the BB's. I heard and read how they ride weird, hunt the streets and flat spot and more. It kept me away until now. I pulled the trigger and went with them....knowing what I should expect to deal with. Result:
they never wander,,,,never hunt....never lose drivability and so far...no flat spotting. I am blown away! Had I known this was the ride I would have had them 6 years ago. Now, maybe I have a unique set...but I doubt it. Even my tire specialist warned me. He balanced them and put them on and I have to tell you....they are awesome! I don't have power steering nor brakes...didn't want them. But what might I be missing here? I drove curves...I took them on the lined freeways at over 100mph....drove them on bad roads just to over do the test....I tried to actually get them to 'hunt' ...they rode no different than the BFGs. Anyway, I am taking the time to let others who may be thinking of BBs and helping them with a different take on them. I will post a pic below for your satisfaction and proof.
thanks for all who helped.
