    I just replaced my tires on my 06 roadglide. I put on avon venoms. I,m having a rear tire wobble around 60 mph and up. Had the tire remounted and of course the mechanic says he doesn"t feel it,but i do. Gonna have a dunlap put on the back and hope that cures the problem.Anyone else have this problem

    Avon tires require more psi than stock rear should be 42. Check pressure first. 40 front
