DSP9700
Scott:
Did your tire installer use the Hunter DSP9700 tire balancing machine? That machine will apply "road force" to measure out of roundness of the tire and subsequently measure wheel trueness if necessary. In short, it will tell you whether your shimmy is caused by off-round tire or bent wheel.
HTH,

Scott, it was only at speeds above 55 and went away at 70. I agree with Pramm, take it to an installer who uses the Hunter. I have been very pleased with Wheel Enhancement. I also found that their pricing is very competitive with Tirerack if you factor in shipping.

Scott, forgot that you had that tire combination. Another reason to get PS2s 
I flip my tires per track event now. Just ordered an impact wrench to make things go faster. The slippery slope continues.....
