It's the slime in your tires. Lose the slime and it will definitly fix it. Trust me I've learned this from experience. Also if this doesn't fix it your tires might not be balanced or seated right, but if it's only at high speeds, then it's definitly the slime.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Why would you put slime in brand new tires?! That stuff seriously corrodes your rims. It's only intended for short term fixes, like if you're out in the woods and suffer a flat, and need to plug it and fill it with slime to finish your ride.

If you're looking for a flat prevention measure, look into Tire *****.

Take all of the air out of your tires and run the tire over with a truck slowly and do not hit the rim it will pop the bead rinse all of the slime out and reseat the bead on the rim with a air compressor and set back to your normal tire pressur this will solve your wobble problem.
I know from experiance DO NOT USE SLIME IN YOUR TIRES.
