And I am in for four, Joe! Had Sumis on the '95 and could never get them to balance right. Went to a tire shop in in Bowling Green in 2014 or 2015 and the tech there, using a Road Force balancer, concluded that all the tires were very near the limits for being out of spec and in any case needed to be spun on the rims 180 degrees. One of the tires was so far out of manufacturer's specs that it could not be balanced at all. He was able to get them close enough so that I could hardly detect a vibration, but soon thereafter I switched to Michelin Pilot SPorts. Costco had no trouble balancing them even without a Road Force. They were great tires. --Bob
