Default Tire
My 2005 dyna wide glide starts to wobble a little at only 50 mph. What is causing this? Tires are in good shape and tire pressure is good. Tire is fairly new. Would an unbalanced front tire cause this?

Unbalanced would cause it, but also look for any cupping on the edge of the tread. Dunlops had that problem a few years ago.

Put some RideOn in your tires. If it's an out of balance situation, the Ride On may resolve it. If not, it offers sealing for punctures.
