(More customer reviews)The problem I have with my pair of tires is that they bulge at the valve stem portion and don't sit straight in the rims.
When I dry mounted them to stretch, I noticed that they had hops and tread wander. It didn't look like it was going to be an easy job to seat them well in the rim once I was working with glue.
And sure enough, it was a bear to try to get them straight when I was pulling them against the glue (Vittoria Mastik One). The rear worked out okay; the front definitely had one patch that just didn't want to sit in the center of the rim. And both tires inflate thicker at the valve stem portion than the rest of the tire.
We're talking about 3 mm of wander, travel and hop, maybe more. Inflated up to 70 psi, I can feel them out of round on smooth pavement. Apart from that undulating, they grip and ride nice. It's possible I just got a nonrepresentative poorly made pair, but I'm going to try a different brand next time.
