Here's the latest.

I jacked the car up and used my dial indicator on the center of the tread at 30lbs. pressure. The readings were .083 and .085 on the fronts and .075 and .070 on the rear. I also used the dial on the sidewall bead and there was less that .010. I say less but it was virtually undetectable.

The flat spots can be seen but Nitto would not give me a number for "out of round" I did go to the dealer with these numbers but he doesn't know anything!!!! He gave me Nitto's number and I initiated a case with them.

I would expect .030 runout but .083 seems high but I don't know if my odd ball method of measuring is valid to determine true run out.

I expect an answer from Nitto before the days end.

By the way..... The low speed shimmy at around 45 when the car first rolls out of the barn is normal according to Nitto. I need to mention that after about 3 miles it doesn't shake at below 60 again. He said typical of the soft compound of these tires............. When it shimmied at 35-45 the few times I've driven it with these new Nitto's I thought I was loosing my mind. Good to know I'm not the only one experiencing this phenom.
