        CZ.........gonna go out on a limb here and say round and not smooth is the preferred tar of choice..........IMO.

            Zap, what I don't recommend are these oval shaped 712 Shinko's I have. If they're not out of round, then they wobble from side to side.

                Actually bang for the buck.......Dunlop 404's.........at 74bucks a pop here locally, hard to argue with. Over the years have used bout every tire available for the XS......and it doesn't seem to care. Now my ST,,,,different can of worms.

                    Well Phil, obviously you need to put Dynabeads in those Shinko's.

                            Never mind the Dynabeads, I'll be using Dynamite. Never again. Will Dynabeads straighten out an oval tire? Lol

                                They wont make an oval tire round but they will ballance it really well...Watch a Video of Dynabeads in action...

                                its worth a shot though...
