Jim makes a very good point here and he gives good advice that I will certainly follow now that he's articulated it so well...

1. I will get the new tires road-forced balanced on a Hunter machine to insure it was done right. If not done right, it will be corrected at the tire shop doing the balancing and if the tire is out of round, it can be returned to wheel dynamics and replaced immediately.

2. It never hurts to have a car's alignment checked and modified when putting on new tires out of a simple comparison of costs. Alignment is under a hundred bucks. Each tire I bought was $200 or more... it's worth it to retain the rubber longer. The overall size is a half inch wider front and back, and a millimeter or two taller. This will probably change the alignment a little or a lot and I was planning on having that done anyway since I just got my control arm replaced.
