Grabber AT3 out of shape

Hi all, I'm told by my garage that several of my General Grabber AT3 275/45/20's are very slightly out of shape. They found this when investigating a whine which was found to be a bearing.
I reckon I'm feeling a slightly unsteady driving - very slight jelly feel on B roads but fine in a straight line. The tyres are about 2 years old and have about 25k miles on them and amazingly they have plenty of tread.
Do you reckon the side walls weaken due to chucking the heavy RRS round corners etc..?
Anyone else found this? I don't want to spend £££ changing them if I'm imagining it, even if the garage tell me they are slightly out of shape.

The only things that come to mind are: does the car sit around for a good while. Tyre pressures kept in check and lastly how old are the tyres. You say 2 years (since fitted?) but if you look on the side of the tyre there are four digits which is the week & year they were constructed.

Can’t think of anything else but Andy (tyrefitter) will be along and chip in Thumbs Up

First of all did you get them from a reputable tyre company.? if yes then they will have a guarantee against anything going wrong with them,go back to who you bought them from & they will remove them & send them back to supplier for them to check that their isn't or is a fault with the tyre,,if their is a fault then they will exchange them for new ones. Andy.

Many thanks both. The 4 digits are 4416, so late 2016. It is used daily so doesn't sit.
Tyrefitter, I will check the invoice for the fitting date this evening, but how many years warranty/guarantee would I expect from that date?
Many thanks Thumbs Up

Should still be in warranty with it being a 2016 tyre.They will check it to see if they was a bag batch of tyres supplied at the time,,Im guessing the tyre came through the Micheldever tyre supplier as they are the main Buyer/Distributor of General tyre.You could also message Andy from AJS Tyres as im sure he is a site sponser on here & he is a main fitting agent for General Tyres. Andy.
