Tires Hum when cornering
#11
This happened to me as well. It was a little unnerving initially, but I soon realized that the majority of the miles on my tires were on fairly straight roads. And while in the twisty's the sides of my poor OEM Dunlops were actually seeing some road surface interaction.
After a couple days in the twisty's the sound went away.
Morale of the story - find more curvy roads to ride !!

Get a different brand tires. Michelin Commander II's, Metzeler ME888's something else and that will vanish. I had that with a 130/60/19 Dunlop I had on the front of my bike for a few months. Replaced with a Michelin and the noise vanished plus I got much better traction, road inconsistency absorption, and feel out of the tire.

Okay, I understand the tire cupping on the Dunlops... On my '05 RK the original Dunlop front tire had 22k on it and you could feel and even see the cupping on it...
Never had the howl before...
Don't know if I agree that improper air pressure is the cause of my problem, as I said I check my tire & rear shock pressures weekly...
