Sometimes, it's something else; but so often it is tires out-of-round. Ie., you can run a metal rod thru the center of a 4-sided(6-sided if you count all surfaces?)box, mount it on a tire-balance machine, and balance it perfectly, yet it will not ride smooth if mounted as a tire! And, yes, it can happen with ANY brand.

If you do this, rotate tires frequently to equalize the added wear. If it's tires, shoot for a replacement by the dealer. If that can't be managed ask if they do 'tire matching' This is an older process -- involves shaving some rubber from the shoulders of each tire in spots where the carcass is stiffer; then, rebalance. Might smooth things out.

Might smooth things out. We call it "truing" the tires. Makes a world of diff. when tires are out-of-round. s |
