Fill me in...what are dyna beads? Is that a brand/model of tire?
Yeah, sorry it took me this long to respond, been on the road.
Like what jcfz6 said, dynabeads are small ceramic beads. I have never once had a problem with them. I've done trackdays, ridden 1,000 miles in a day, no shimmy at any speed.
Any noise at low speeds? Just curious...
the location (center or side)doesnt matter.
you may have more serious issues.
maybe check your steering head bearings.
What confuses me is things were perfectly smooth prior to changing tires. Bearings go out that fast?
Damn, son. You are having one helluva bad shop experience. Those people need to not be in business anymore.
And for the record, I'm on the third set of tires I've installed myself without changing the original weights from the first pair of tires, and have never had any sort of shimmy at any speed. Each new set of tires I keep checking the balance, it looks fine, I install the wheels back on, and never have an issue. So I can only conclude that the slight imbalance the weights are correcting is with the cast wheels themselves, and the tires are coming pretty damned close to perfectly balanced from the factory. (Metz Z6, then Metz Z6 Interract, now Michelin Pilot 2ct).

ok...i saw a video on youtube showing the steering bounce test to see if you have bad steering head bearings. One of my sides bounces. 8-(
(assuming that is legit method)
how much should i expect to pay for the steering head bearings to be replaced if they are bad?
