I have NOS Firestone w/w on the 31. The LR has a wobble. I checked and it is not the wheel it is the tire. Eyeball and a stick says about 1/8inch on the sidewall. Is there anyway to correct this?
 
Check the line on the tire just on the edge of the rim, to be sure the tire is fully seated and centered.
I had to spray the tire bead with WD-40 before the tire would correctly slide onto the rim.

Had an Old Datsun 510 with NEW tires, rolling slowly it would CREAK something awful. Sprayed the beads with WD-40 & it was GONE! Someone mounted the new tires, DRY:eek:

I would let the air out and carefully refill it making sure the tire is centered. Maybe even rotate the tire on the wheel

BTW it measures 3/8 at the center of the tread. Not good for tire wear.
 
"Maybe" it wobbles from tires that have sat with weight on them, for a LOOONG time & developed a "FLAT" or distorted area????
