Circular Prints Failing

Greetings!

Sadly, I am having difficulty with my sparkly new Mk3S. When I attempt to print a circular object it becomes terribly lopsided.

Circular test prints

(The above are relatively circular, not ovals as it appears.)

When I print a square, as I did with this Z-level test, it comes out okay.

I attempted to adjust the tension on the X and Y belts. The belt scores are X-243, Y-285. Oddly, they feel equivalently tense. I have loosened and retightened the belt gears. What else can I do?
