Ok, so let's analyze the physics behind the yaw moments we encountered... Effective wheel rate dropping, and contact patch dynamically changing, exxagerating the cornering force changes generated by toein/toeout under compression and extension...

I'm glad it was something simple to find and fix! Even tho you have resolved the problem, I thought I would put in another possible cause for someone that reads this thread in the future. haha
I had a problem where under deceleration, mainly braking, my car would rotate to the left (counter-clockwise) and it was a front left wheel bearing. I sure would have preferred your cause/fix over mine.

32psi all around, and the balance has been RESTORED
Thanks guys, lesson learned here - stiff sidewall tires need to have their pressure checked even if they don't look flat!
Me too
OH:
Hey I loves me some street tuurrs1!!

Wat.
There needs to be a new rule in the R & C forum. No asking any question about anything until you have double checked your tire pressure.
Glad you got it resolved. You may have a bit of a leak though.
I had a full on sidewall puncture in the mountains on RE-11A at speed, I think I could have driven all the way back home with no pressure in the tire.

LOL honestly that rule is not a bad idea. I was SHOCKED at how low it was on the reading. Visually looking at it just sitting in a parking lot, it looked equally filled with air compared to all of the other tires. Mind was blown.You are right, I think I may have a very slow leak. I listened after filling it, and couldn't hear anything. It may be one of those very tiny leaks near a rim bead. I am going to do the water test to check for bubbles next.
Wow, glad you didn't lose the car with the RE-11A puncture! The sidewall construction of these tires are great, heck, they almost function like run flats. Pretty awesome.
