Front tire un-even ware FLHTC
IMy 1992 Eletra Glide is showing signs of slightly more ware on the right side of the tire. Also, if I spin the tire I can here the disc pads on the right side rubbing in the disc. You can also here it with a kind of wobbling rub sound at higher speeds. Not sure if this is important regarding the alignment and the front tire waring different.
So, Any thoughts on the tire would be helpful....
Thanks...

RE: Front tire un-even ware FLHTC
Well, I had the front tire replaced over the weekend. To lazy to do it myself....
They re-packed the bearings and balanced the tire and now the noise is almost gone. As the pads on the brakes even themselves out I imagine it will go away all together.
So as it turns out it was eigther a unbalanced tire or the bearings needed re-packing. The old tire was showing bad ware but it wasn't real bad so my guess is it was un-balanced.
Thanks all......
