Can you swap them out with someone else's wheels to see what difference it makes ?

How many miles have you done since they were fitted?

Have you tried doing the same wobble test on the front of the car?

If it were my car I would take it for a steady drive on the motorway for at least half an hour to scrub the rears in and then gingerly see how it goes around corners then.

Easier and cheaper than buy two more tyres that you might not need.

They've done about 500 miles motor way and about 80-90 miles around town/country lanes.

Yep, did the front, rock solid.

Thanks for suggestions tho, keep them coming :)

Bad batch of tyres? Hope not, as ive just put 4 of the same on mine. I'll be interested to see if it is the Goodys.
