The car has had three sets of tires and has exhibited the same
symptoms on each. The first were the OEM Goodyear Eagle GAs;
the second two were (and are) Yokohama U+4s. I dumped the
first batch of U+4s 'cause the dealer thought maybe a bad belt
or something was causing my problem (this, after I carefully 
explained that I'd had the same troubles with the GAs...)

Thanks again for the suggestions! However, I don't think it's tires. I
can let the car sit for three days and it won't so much as quiver
if the weather is dry. Let it sit for 3-4 hours and drive it in the wet,
though... If a tire doesn't flat-spot in 3 days, it isn't going to do it in
3 hours. Is it?
