i bought mine (2024) and had the wobbles.. Had to go through Indian Corporate and finally got a new tire put on, but weather is too wet to ride and see if it is gone.. Upon inspection (my dealer has awesome mechanics) they found a caliper bolt backed out and was into the rotor.. All fixed and just waiting on dry roads ...

Hopefully I'll be putting Dunlops on my bike from here on out but now that they closed the tire plant here in Buffalo who knows??? I had Metzler's on my Chieftain during Covid because that's all the dealer could get their hands on.. I hated them... couldn't wait until I wore them out!

I must be living right. I’m on my 4th front Metzler on a ‘21 Challenger Dark Horse, The OEM cupped bad, no wobble. I replaced it @ 13k miles. Bumped the air pressure up to 40lbs and the other 3 have worn/wearing well. I got 16k with tread to spare on #2. I replaced it early in prep for a long trip. 20k on #3, 4300 on the current tire I put on in Aug. Using balancing beads and 40lbs AP have had no wobble, shimmy or shake issues. I will bite the bullet and go with a Dunlop D-408 and live with the Harley scripting if the need arises. E4’s on the rear.

Here's my update.. After 3 front tires and still wobbling, I decided to take it to Bike Week in Daytona last week... Now the front forks are thumping when you rock it back and forth and the front brakes are moaning.. New Caliper and new rotor were installed before I went to Daytona..
