Has anyone experienced a very wobbly front wheel on a new bike? It occurs above 30 miles per hour.  I've already performed static balance but I can tell the tire is off while spining it. The dealers solution was to simply air up the tire, which didn't help at all.  The point of this post is to get a consensus from other owners who've actually experiencing this issue with Pirelli tires, which I have heard are defective sometimes and have to be warrantied out.  Any input is greatly appreciated as I try to figure this out.

A couple of weeks ago another new Zero owner posted about the same problem.  If I recall correctly, the tire was defective and once replaced it solved the wobble.

Thanks Richard!  Do you recall the post or user?
