After checking the date of the tire and found them to be 8 years old I swapped them out and no more issues.

MG,

Those words stuck with me when I read them back in March. I just replaced the tires with Michelin Pilot A/S 3+ and all of those issues went away too. Thank you for the insight.

However, I do get an intermittent shimmy (another thread on that).
