Well that's a little concerning, considering these are serious name brands.

It really is concerning. I don't know what I will do when I need tires again.

One of the Yokohamas is more out of round than the others. The car rides smoothly, but I get a slight shake in the steering wheel since the worst tire is on the front left. As for the Pirellis, two were very good, one was fair, one was barely acceptable and two more were quite bad. I also get a slight shake in the steering wheel on the car with the Pirellis - worst one is also on the front left.

I don't know what to think, but I can't recommend any of these tires. Maybe some of the other brands are better, or maybe the quality standard has been lowered due to demand.

Do you live in an area with strong gravitational forces, which are pulling on your tires in odd ways? Is your face strangely asymmetrical in the mirror?
