Good leads, except the dealer has checked the brakes and they're fine all around, and this happens with both my summer and winter wheels. The summer tires are brand new Bridgestones and the wheels are first rate German made Borbets - which don't leave the shop unless they're hand and machine inspected. The Saab dealer also brought my car to a neighboring Lexus dealer to have the alignment and balance double-checked (and the Lexus dealer had the very latest equipment), everything came out fine, so its not the alignment or balance.
