I don't have any symptoms because I don't have the tires I was set on getting the 35" mt/r kevlars but then I started hearing about problems with poor quality and balancing issues. Guess I'll have to look for another option

Pain in the ass to balance. I have the load c tires, need to keep the psi up to prevent high speed deformation in the tire leading to wobbles and other strange feelings. I think goodyear f'd up a little with these tire, should be a load d or e. They probably thought since they are using kevlar then..... If I were to do it over, I would have got some toyos. Oh well.

Yes, and yes, both problems. Lumpy, bumpy, poor riding, impossible to balance. I will be replacing these tires long before they wear out, and will not be buying them again.
