On another thread some time ago, I mentioned the marked improvement after sorting my tyre pressures and setting the damping on the rear wheel as per the manual. The excitement was short lived and soon I noticed the wobble again at around 130. I suspected the Mitas I had in the front or maybe the heavy duty tube. I bought new tyres from Sharwoods last year and only got to fitting them at Trac Mac Paarden Eiland on Saturday. Man, what a difference.... The wobble is gone... I cannot believe I was actually getting used to the crappy handling. Only after fitting the new tyres did I realise what I have been putting up with for so long now.

I went for the same Mitas EO7 rear but chose Karoo 3 for the front. I will steer clear from fitting Mitas on the front again....
