I can't remember exactly what force measurement it was but after Custom Alignment did an alignment and balance on my car, they said that these were some of the worst tires they had seen. They commented that if they had installed them, they would have replaced them. I have noticed some intermittent wobbles with them but I think that a few people have mentioned some vibrations and out of round with them. Overall, I think I am pretty pleased with them except that I have about 10K miles on them and like most tires, they are getting too noisy to put up with for much longer. Also ran them in the snow going over the Sierras during a snow storm on my GS4 and they were very, very good. Definitely no need to worry in the snow unless you don't know how to drive in it.

So what did you expect? A perfect score? I doubt I would replace them with another set of the same thing. I have 245/50-16s on my car. At least I like the size, that width is about the minimum I like on the GS. I know I haven't helped much, but good luck. Maybe you will get a matched set that are perfect.
