as a general rule of thumb we run about 15 to 20 pounds of pressure in our back tire to help the bike track straighter. Try 20 and if you're still wobbling on the front end.....go down some.
Hope this helps.

i rock about 15 in rear and 20-25 in the front...depends on the day.

i think i'm gonna go up to about 20psi in teh rear for my highway wheelis....i find that it's hard to steer and i feel a wobble about 100mph if i'm rocking fast stuff.....if i keep it down about 60 then no problem, but any higher (interstate) when i'm trying to catch up to my friends then i get wobble...

I like to go 15 psi when practicing 12s. For faster tricks 28 to 30 in the rear.

Graduated to 18-20 rear and 24-28 front, depending on which tire gage I use.
