Re: [Chrysler300] front-end bounce at 35- 45 MPH

David:

I see that you have had a lot of good input, but I didn't see any 
discussion of out-of-roundness and/or flat spots.  Some tires take a 
permanent set and may be in dynamic balance, but still give the feel of 
unbalance as the high spot and/or flat spot comes around.  I presume a 
tire shop can measure runout or out of round while on the car.  I'd 
guess we'd all be interested in brand, size, cord material and age.
