[QUOTE="kleake, post: 1190114, member: 19825"] I may have found the source of my wiggle. I installed the tire last Saturday, pressure was set at ~41. Rode it to work most of the week. Didn't check the pressure again, but did eyeball it and kick it like I usually do and it felt solid. (Usually check the pressure every couple of weeks and just eyeball it and kick it between. It usually works pretty well) These GT's definitely are firmer! I was out in the shop last night and I thought I would check the pressure to be sure, and it was at 15!!! I hadn't rode it since last week so I'm not sure if it just went down or maybe it dropped that first few days, but either way, that would explain the wiggle. It's raining today so I didn't ride, but i'll be watching the pressure and report back my findings. Funny thing is that it didn't really feel like it was that low, and it sure didn't look it! And to think, Friday I was pushing a high speed curve testing it,,,,, and it felt rock solid while leaned way over! Learned my lesson, never trust look and feel, always check! Makes me want to get a TPMS system, any recommendations? [/QUOTE]
