Has that cleared up for you yet? I had mine put on and drove to Philly this week and they seem to be slightly unbalanced. Is this the same type of problem you guys have had, will it work its way out, or should I get the shop to rebalance them. Thanks All.

Default I only had issues when they were new (the first week)...

Then it went away.

Default Like many low-profile tires, they can flat spot when not in motion...

...this goes away after driving it for a little bit and seems to be worse in colder weather. It's not bad IMO. I've had tires that exhibit this trait worse than the GS-D3's.

My Toyo T1-S tires do that. Pretty annoying in the morning.

Default My Toyo T1-S tires have vibration despite repeated balancing and road force testing and...

checking of the brand new rims for roundness. Nothing makes sense. The vibration is worst around 75 MPH. Gets better if you go slower or go faster.

Note there was no vibration at any speed with the stock wheels and tires.

I've been a big Toyo T1-S fan but I REALY HATE THIS and not sure if I will buy these tires again. :\

Default I didn't feel safe on them the first week .. felt rubbery .. give it 10 days and make your decision.

Take Care!
