Porpoising! There's the term I needed all along! The cyclical loading and unloading is exactly what I think is happening. I just didn't want to believe that the brand new GR2s that many on the forums seem to love could offer so little suspension control.
I considered trying a couple of used tires on the front to see what happens, but the selection of used 14"s is limited, to put it mildly. Also, inflating from 35 to 50+psi didn't really change anything. On the other hand, it would just be my luck and poor judgement to spend $375 to replace new shocks only to find that tire are the culprit.
