Hi Tom,
I use a 110/90-18 front and 120/90-18 rear. Are the Cheng-Shins visibly
cupped or otherwise wearing abnormally? What accessories if any does the
bike have on it (saddlebags, travel trunk, etc.)? Too much rearward
weight bias could possibly cause this. Cheers,

Charlie

 I recently bought a '74 Eldo Police and I'm working her into riding
condition. So far, so good, but its got a slight wobble that develops at
55mph. I've checked for air pressure, loose spokes, run out, steering
head bearings, and swingarm. Everything seems ok, but it still wobbles.
Its got cheng-shin 4.5x18 P70 on the front & back, which seems too big
to me.



What size tires does everyone recommend?
