My awesome guys at America's Tire Co. are replacing all four under warranty. Customer service doesn't get much better than that since they're OEM tires they didn't even sell. They were up front in saying to rotate sooner than usual, every 3K, given the T/A's tendency to cup on IFS setups. Of course they do that and rotate for free on demand.

Good grief. The new replacement set was twice as bad as the defective set on it now, as measured with their high-end Hunter road force balancer.

They've now offered a generous credit toward any set of tires they sell (pretty much everything), so I'm deciding which way to go for my needs.

Evil, yes I read your earlier post, but would first like to take a run at getting a set within road force balance spec. Nothing to do with you being new here, I noticed your cool avatar when you joined! Thanks for the tip though.
