Thanks for the input,,This car was put away sometime around 1980 with 16000 miles on it, with its original born with polyglas front tires. they where in remarkable condition when I got the car around 2007, I drove it a little with them and they didn't shake, I later put the radials on and the car was not aligned since I have owned it, maybe never. All the ball joints, steering parts, idler arm etc. are tight. I then put the repos on and now about 65 miles an hour you can start to feel a shake. If I pick up the car on jack stands and spin the wheels , some more than others they are all over the place, Its hard to tell by looking at the photos because its only a still of one part of the tire at a time. a couple of the tires took very large weights to balance. I remember working for a goodyear store back in 1981 and once in a while I would put a wheel on the balancer and run some yellow chalk on it to show a person just how bad they needed a new one. Thats how these feel, like if a tire guy reached down and just rubbed there hand across the top they would look at me and smile. I was just hoping to maybe find others who purchased these tires and could say, "wow mine where not like that" so that I could feel alittle better about having them send me 4 more ,, I would hate to just get more of the same, I'm guessing that as my luck would have it I just got some bad ones. Since I purchased another tire and it is not shaped all screwy. also there are weights on the other side in addition to the ones in the photo
