There is only one way to know for sure. That is the truth of this situation.

If I spend money on a product I want that product to be as advertised. I don't feel I should have to put shoe polish on new WW to make them look good. It should come from the factory looking good with no need to do anything.

If I paid for blemishes to save a buck knowing I would have to use shoe polish than that is a different story but the fact that some people are getting the new shipment with brown spots etc is unacceptable to me and is why I am hesitant to order them .

My humble opinion

It's not the tire preassure its the shi@y roads here in NY along with the tire just being what it is skinny. Which is why I was hoping the vee would be an answer to my WW problem. If I have to settle for black tires for now so be it but thanks for the FYI

If i'm ever in Cali first rounds on me we can shoot the sh@t and argue back and forth over who has the nicer sleds east coast or west coast .

Bfleischer are you sure its the tire that s giving you the wobbles.I run a 90-90-21 on a 2.15 rim with no problems at all on my Deluxe.I do have the Ricor Intiminators but even before them I had no problems.Do you think something else could be the cause.
