Default v-force front tires

Does anyone else have bad tire hop on the front stock tires on there V-force from being out of round at higher speeds and I am talking about bad hop. I have new ITP wheels so that is not it, you can spin the tire and see they are out of round, been that way sence they were new. Do I have a bad set of ITP holeshots or is this normal for these tires. Had pure sport bandits on front of my last quad and loved them, thinking about changing.

Thats funny you said that cause I was thinking the samething. I thinks its the stock front tire not the rim. I noticed that the other day on a ride. I put it up on jack stands and spun the tire. The tire goes up and down and the egde of the rim stays true. I think im going to buy some new fronts.

My wife's has the shakes. Well the shakes at speed . I kinda noticed it out of round also. But my tires do that when they sit in the shop for a week or two. But after about 10 mins of riding it goes away.

Mine bounce really bad at 50 to 70 mph. I actually won't take it that fast any more until I get the tires changed out.

Maybe goodyears.

Thanks for the replys. Now that I know all you guys are having the same problem, its time for new tires. If any one wants 3 ITP stock front tires, (one brand new) just e-mail, maybe $80.00 for all three.

If you are going to have the V sitting around for a over a couple of weeks without being ridden you need to air the tires up to higher PSI and this will help prevent them from becomming squares. Like maybe put between 10 and 15 PSI per tire.
