Hello Greg,

I changed my tyres about a month ago and had exactly the same problem
with my rear TW152
radial. The "loose feeling" and the "wandering about" behaviour has been
decreasing steadily and now I don't feel anything anymore. I asked a
couple of friends to ride the bike just to make sure that the problem
has really gone and it wasn't me getting use to it.
But still, if in your case the problem persists, contact your dealer and
make use of the warrantee.
To tell you the truth I was just about to do that myself. The feeling of
insecurity is sometimes more dangerous than having a really bad tyre.
