Going to the darkside

[Jess from VA]

Got the avon roadrider on with dynabeads and now im having a front end wobble/bounce. It even acted like it wanted to slide out from under me once. The psi is at 35. Should I up it to 40? The falken 512 feels great. Just having a problem with the front. And it is rotating the right way.

Mine is hanging in the shed, still have some rubber left on my Metz.  (and I am not working on my bikes in 100 degrees, daily)

What is the MAX PSI printed on the sidewall?  You don't want to run Max psi, but 35psi sounds too low.

Besides dyna beads (which I have no experience with) was the tire balanced when mounted?  If so, did they install many wheel weights?

Mounted my own tires and did not balance them. Thays ehy the dyna beads were used

Two things.  1.  Your air pressure is too low.  Like Fudgie said.  40-42 psi.  2.  It takes about 100 miles to wear the mold release off.  The mold release makes the tires slippery until worn off.

Now for those who argue about tread patterns.  I guess I am going to have to post my tread pics again.  When you look at the front tire, the center point of the sipe points forward.  The rear tire center point of the sipe points to rear.

 :cooldude:bumped psi up to 40 and it's much better. Rode home In heavy rain past 2 days. Maybe thats why it feels slippery. The mold release is still on the tire and the wet road makes it feel even more slippy. its a 60 mile round trip to work so id say the mold release is my issue. Thanks x ring

You might try taking a sos pad or something similar and scrubbing the mold release off your tire.  I'm lucky enough,  ???, to live on a chip and tar road.  It's about 2 1/2 miles from my house to the highway.  Making lazy esses from here to there scrubs off all the mold release.
