Run fine and hold air, UNTIL they fail. You do a 100+ MPH blast, it can exceed the limits of the tire in it's current condition, and can fail. It's a risk. If you're comfortable with that risk, then it's entirely up to you.

All I'm saying is, tires do expire, tires do become compromised with age, and there is a risk with old tires.

In this case, where you have a 'wobble', guess what? It's probably the tire. And all I asked was how old they were. If the tire is of questionable condition, then, it's most likely the tire causing you issue. It's just common sense. Deductive reasoning.

Anything is fine UNTIL it fails. I don’t disagree with that. I’m saying that I don’t know how old they are, I haven’t checked the date code. All I can say about them is that they look like they’re in good condition with no visible signs of wear or defects. I’ll know for sure if it’s a tire when they’re rotated and I drive it. I honestly hope it’s a tire and not something like bad bearings. I was planning on replacing the tires anyway so it’s not anything new I have to replace.
