I just mounted one of these on the rear of my Valkyrie and I don't like it. It's like another tire I had in the past whose tread pattern made a vibration at a certain speed. So I won't be buying another Bridgestone battlecruise. Take it for what it's worth.

Looks almost exactly like the Bridgestone exedra max, which I've never had what you describe, except when I lean into a turn. I've often wondered if this is something felt when transitioning off of center onto the side, and with these bikes virtually vibrationless (is that a word) we would not feel this when on other lesser  ;D bikes the feeling would be masked by engine vibrations.

Maybe I thinks too much sometimes

Well I've run several Bridgestone Exedras and they were fine. I'd go for one of those again and I would've this time but I couldn't find one For the price I wanted to pay. Now I wish I would have just paid the extra
