Having now put 150 to 200 miles on my new tires (and head gasket) the right front remained the big offender.

After the last 10 mile trip, the valve stems were still centered in the hole in the wheel cover.

I did carefully bend the tangs to get a better grip on the rim.

I don't know if the radial tires couple more road vibration through but they seem to run about the same as the fat bias-ply tires I wore out. These tires have a narrower tread than the old tires that were on the car, which were actually over sized.
