Theres alot to look at when ur trying to make something spin that fast smoothly lol
*May need to be balanced
*bead might not be set on one part
*rear axle may need to be aligned

underinflation, out of balance, bad tire, bent frame, et cetera. more detail, perhaps?

CycleGear installed the tires on the rims. So they should be ballanced.

Same happen o me when I installed my new PR2. It scare the crap out of me the first time it happen. As they wear out it will be fine. That's the main reason why I went back to the Conti Motions. The tire is not as rounded and more like a touring tire but with dual compound.

What brand of tire did you installed?

Note: Lower your pressure a bit, that will enlarge the contact patch and help a bit.

Whats bead lol

the bead is where the tire is acutely locked into the rim
Tire bead - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

it basically holds your tire in prefect place if its not beaded it can roll off the rim!!!

Here this image kind of shows you how there is a notch that the tire sits in

Got my new rubber installed yesterday and it's been pouring rain for the last 2 days. I might leave it park again tonight... not a good idea to go out in the rain with brand new shoes... I think?

If you keep it clean and ride the calmer roads it's fine. But the mess that wet roads create on the bike is just horrible and a royal pain in the butt to clean up.
