A couple ideas... if you can find a guy with a Hunter machine http:///www.gsp9700.com you can find out for sure exactly what is wrong (unless you are already sure they are out of round). Also, I don't know how long you've had them... but Conti gives you a 30 day "satisfaction guaranteed" warranty and you can exchange them for four new ones or get another Conti tire if you don't like them for any reason. That said... it usually takes more than 30 days just to find the time to hunt down "out of round" problems, so I expect it's too late for you. Bob
