On the stand, there is a slight "hop" in each of them (which might not be noticeable once I plop my fat bottom on the bike), and some side to side wobble. I spent some time (more than I would expect from a new tire) adjusting the seating in the rim, flipping them/switching the rotation direction, making sure the tubes were not bunched up (and I used plenty of talc powder to prevent sticking), trying to correct the "problems". They are better now, but not perfect. I have a few miles on them so far, have made some further "adjustments", and hope to put more miles on them soon. These will end up on my sorta-mountain bike at some point, after I can source larger Paselas.
