im thinking about moving to the Michelin, but not sure if that i will solve the problem.
other then that, the Henkook's are great. very comfortable (got 18") excellent grip and cost half of the Michelin.
but i would pay the differences if it will solve my problem. i can't go balance my wheels once a month.
Flatspotting should not be this severe. What are your tire pressures? Try increasing 2 PSI. See if that helps. Rears especially.

Good point. will do just that.
Running pressure as recomended in the owner manual (29 - 32 if I remember correctly).
Don't know why, but after reading trimer Posts, I have a feeling next tire change I will take a road trip to Jacksonville.
