Hi Jeff. I'm running a 120 front & 190 rear combo wore them out to aprox. -1mm of the edges. Never had no wobble acceleraring or decelerating. The tires are bald now but still track perfectly. However when I bought my GTS the previous owner had the same complaint as you. It turned out to be a very slight yet noticeable weave in the wheel itself. Made a wall clock out of the old one. Maybe a checking is required.
