The funny thing in all of this, for me at least, was the fact I had no indication any of my wheels were bent. Absolutely no vibration front or rear all the way up to 85-90MPH. (Drive faster at your own risk on Vermont roads) A number of years ago I bent a wheel on my 4X4 pickup and knew it the second it happened. Shook the fillings out of my teeth at 70MPH!

I look back here on this site and see people experience tire cupping issues almost from day one with seemingly no reason. Maybe we now have one, I dunno. Time will tell I guess.
