The issue I had with my CA-assembled Pilot was an alignment issue. No vibration, but did have feathering on the front tires. The OEM Bridgestones were worn close to the bars by 30K and got REAL dicey in the notorious FL thunderboomers. Got Hankook RH03 tires on it now (rated very well by CR for warm-weather use; only major weakness was snow and ice traction, a set of conditions we don't experience in FL). After ~ 3K on the 245-70 Hankooks, haven't noticed any vibration, just a small bit of cold 'lumpiness' that goes away after 2-3 miles of driving. Traction and response is better than the OEM Bridgestones, noise is comparable but different (slightly better on some surfaces, slightly worse on others)

Did/do have the brake clunk, though.
