    make sure the tire rotates in the correct direction, there is a correct way to install a tire several people I know have had tires mounted backwards. just a thought.
    when dunlop first came out with the new design for the tires on 09 EGlides some of the tires were coming out mounted backward. Happened to a friend of mine.

    Well, I went by the rotation arrow marked on the sidewall. I assume that's right, but who knows. BTW, how would you tell if the rotation arrow had been mismarked?

    Replace the wheel bearings to start with.........
    Then do the tire,

    If this don't fix it have it balanced with the new rotor off the wheel.
