Modern Vespa

Please recommend to me a good front tire that will reduce or eliminate the "wobble" on a 2007GTS. Thanks Avi

I could go off on a wobbly about doing a 'search' - but has your front wheel been axially balanced as well as radially?

Jim. Splain the axially balance. Is this like the old bubble balance we used to do before spin balancing?

What do you have on now?

Reason I ask: when I mounted a Michelin, I got the wobble. The Sava before it didn't cause it, and the Pirelli GTS23 after it didn't either.

Windbreaker is absolutely correct. All the new GTS models over here have a Pirelli GT23 front tyre. No wobble. Really grippy wet and dry too.

are you using the heaviest bar-ends you can get? that will iron out your wobble for you no matter what tyres you run.

I noticed that my girlfriend has two different tread pattern tires on her GTS,
Whereas I have two with the same tread pattern and I get the wobble worse than her.

Her front tire is a Sava MC10 and her rear tire is a Pirelli SL26
Mine are both Pirelli SL36's

I would look at the treat wear itself for anomolies, a badly worn tire will not run true and may cause vibrations. Check your tire pressure, this is something that people just seem to forget about. Typically, you dont need to balance a 12" or smaller tire, but in extereme circumstances it may be nessesary. But, I would check that tire pressure, every two weeks or less. Running a tire at low pressure, espcially at high speeds will prematurely wear the tire and cause what is called cupping on the treads.
