I think that is unavoidable with our cars. The main thing (and I'm 
sure Russ knows this) is to get the tire inflation right. They MUST 
NOT all be inflated the same! VW recommended 18-19 for the 
fronts and 26-36 for the rears, depending on the body style and the 
load (squares can be more heavily loaded in the rear so only they 
would need the upper range.) I just inflate to 20 front and 30 rear. I 
would add more air to the rears if I ever put a really big load in there.
