    I wonder if balancing beads would fix this issue? Any folks already tried? cueman

    I run Metzler 888 front and rear with the beads and no wobble at all. Gotta love those beads, they really help all through the life of the tire.

    WOBBLE

    I noticed a slight wobble once the second tire I had mounted on the front had a few miles pounded on it. I installed the front brace and it made the steering stiffer but the ever so slight wobble is still there. I never had a wobble on the original factory tire and I installed the same tire. I think our wobble has more to do with the actual tire and the amount of air in the tire. I'm going to test different tire pressures next. The current tire has moderate ware but does have a strange wear pattern. Going to change front tire this season to see if it makes a difference on the wobble. I'm almost sure its the tire.

    As I stated in my above post, I had the slight wobble between 37 and 40 mph when it was new. 1st tire change and using the Stones, the wobble was completely gone. When I put on the third set, still using the Stones, the wobble returned. Running the factory prescribed air pressures the whole time.
