You never said what type of rims you have? If it is a spoke rim check to see if the spokes are loose. Also check rim run out.

If the tires check out ok then don't forget to check the neck bearing. My brothers bike had a loose neck bearing and I could watch the backend sway back and forth going down the Hwy,.

When they mounted the tires, there isn't one on backwards by chance is there? I've seen that happen a time or two. Just throwing out ideas....

Well, It turns out that I had bad rear wheel bearings.

All fixed now.
