I just put 4 USA Garfield 19" tires on my Coupe and get a very bad bounce at 20 per hr. I had Firestones before the Garfilds that were nott balanced with no problem at any speed..i never drive over 45. One would think a good.balanced tire would be needed at higher speeds ..not at 20 miles per hr. I know you get a bounce from a cheaper tire from sitting a while which go's away after a mile ..which these do but if i cruise the back roads at 20 then they bounce pretty bad. Would.it help to balance the Garfields or did i get some bad tires ?
