[QUOTE="RsvlFeej, post: 478471, member: 2990"] Yes, when the Avon Storms came out about 2? years ago. There was definitely something wrong with their quality control and several people got severe headshake like you describe. I had one that was a little bit out of whack, but after trying another brand, I'm right back to the Storms - LOVE that stick in the twisties. Pretty sure Avon will replace the tire (I know, it's a PITA and Avon WON'T cover the price of changing the tire). Here's the Storm thread. [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=19591&hl=avon++storm"]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?s...;hl=avon++storm[/URL] There should be a way to check when your tire was Mfg'ed. Maybe you got one of the early ones. I have no opinion about the quality of work at Cyclegear (never have been to their store/shop). Here's the link to use Google to search the FJR forum (this search engine ROCKS): [URL="https://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=002023655481363211848%3A2jptjgyclxq"]https://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=00202365...8%3A2jptjgyclxq[/URL] [/QUOTE]
