[QUOTE="FJRBluesman, post: 905277, member: 5903"] Waiting for OP's response to the test ride. That being said, 36psi is not that low. Higher psi does help with wear/cupping, but this should not wobble at 36psi. If the bike has done it before, I'd say he has other issues, and the new tires made it worse (blems maybe?). Usually tires do better on asphalt (smoother) than concrete. The rain grooves, etc on concrete roads is nasty. So that also puzzles me (very easy to do). One other thing I don't recall reading was balancing of the tires. Get them re-balanced if the other things don't work. Some bone head wrench in a hurry may have just quickly slapped on the weights without taking the time to do it right. [COLOR=#C0C0C0]You weren't that bone head were you?[/COLOR] Good luck let us know what's going on. [/QUOTE]
