When I got new tires I did both king pins and alignment since the tires cost so much, I was told to do everythinug.
I went back to the place I got the G395 and the guy took it off and put on a new one 396 or 397 I dont remember.

He said he got a bad batch or something and this was happening to a few of his customers. Still charged me $50 mount and dismount + fees. I will not use Goodyear anymore.

I agree on the Goodyear, I never had any luck with them tires and I think there a crap tire.
I'm running the Bridgestone R283'S, they are a tall rubber and also a bit more heavy duty because I allways run a bit heavy up front. I've had pretty good luck in the past with the 283. The wear seems to be on the outside on both sides so maybe it is towed in too much, not sure.
Seems to go down the road straight but feels a bit rough sometimes.
