Default Effect on "bagger wobble" question

I'd be curious to hear from those who had the phenomena "bagger wobble" on motorcycle tires what the effect of switching to a car tire was. Did it help reduce the wobble? Did it make it worse? Did it have no appreciable effect?

I understand basic stability and such. I'm talking about that wobbling, generally in a fast highway sweeper type turn, that the big touring bikes are prone to.

Not bashing or baiting. Simply curious.

Worse. I had to play with tire pressure and add Dynabeads to get it back to where it was.

But with the mileage and traction I consider the switch to a C/T the way to go.

I'm getting older and don't hit the magic speed much. Would be nice though to have it to get away from the idiot cages.

Hope this helps.
