There is a humming noise in the 2 front tires and they are uneven. The dealership indicated that this is caused by 'feather wear'. Dealership has replaced the shocks, tires ,and aligned the vehicle, but the problem still exists. Unable to determine the cause of the problem

I have a set of 4 uniroyal liberator a/t p235 70r16 tires DOT apo8 c62u 4410 that have horrible problems. One of them is so elliptical that you feel like you are riding on a egg shaped tire that almost makes you sick at slower speeds. It has a awful vibration at higher speeds. The other 3 of the set are so out of balance that even with 5 ounces of weight, the tires still vibrate.
