nothing really wrong, it could just be your wheels aren't aligned,
the camber isn't correct or just you are running then a bit deflated.

I am very pleased with Michelin Pilot Exalto.  They perform really
well. They also attack water pogs in rain with determination, keeping

one should obviously avoid is keeping different tires from SIDE to SIDE
