They have 16,000 miles on them. It's time to buy a portable air compressor, and a tire repair kit, and I think I'll go with non run flats. Thanks for all the help.

Even if this has uncovered the problem, based on what you said in your previous post, about the eccentrics being off in relation to each other, I highly recommend getting the alignment checked.
