Whenever you get new tires installed you NEED to have them balanced. Balance issues are even worse on big, heavy tires. Get it taken care of before you Heep falls apart.


Odds are that is what it is. I am assuming that you didn't have any problems before you installed the new tires.

I would definetly get theme balanced. It is possible with the increase in tire size that an issue that wasnt there before  has shown up, such as a bad tie rod, ball joint or control arm bushings.Check your steering stabilzer as well. Hope it helps.

Oh no! The chain reaction has started. First it's a little wobble, then a tie rod. Next thing you know, you are riding your bike to work.

Ok recall Joe saying this to me once... "Adam, if your lift comes with your DW issues, than I don't want it". Hmmm, EAT IT JOE!

Ok now that that is out of my system. The biggest cause of DW is alignement. If you didn't have your tires spin balanced when they were mounted than you need to do that first. 2nd would be to have the front end aligned. They will be able to tell you than if anything is bad, or needs replaced.

90% of the time it's one of those 2 things. If not than come back and I'll help you pinpoint the other causes.
