Pep-boys Futura GS Brand tires go out of round about at about 3/4s of their life.
Now that it has happened on both my front wheels I know it is the tire.
With about 1/4 of the tread left on my tires my left front wheel started making a noise...like a bad wheel bearing or warped rotor...so I replaced them(both front rotors). The noise got better but didn't go away...so I replace the tire. Gone.
Now the same thing happened on my right front....so I rotated the tires and the noise followed.......2 times same symptom..has to be the tires.
But for 60 dollars a pop lasting 2+ years...its still not bad.
