Front Tire Singing

[Eboness]

If your front tire on your GL1800 has started to make noise, singing, would increasing or decreasing that tire’s air pressure stop this noise. Usually it’s caused by the tire cupping. I’m just curious? The right solution would be to just replace the tire. However a bunch of my riding buddies and myself were discussing if a tire pressure change would cause the noise to increase or decrease or just stop all together. What say you all.

It may help. Different brands react differently and some of it is related to the roads themselves. You should also check the rear tire pressure.

Honestly, the tire may not need to be replaced quite yet if you can accept the noise but, tires tend to wear quicker as they approach end of life.

I have had Dunlop and Bridgestone and Avon and all three acted slightly different in wear and noise. Dunlop by far is the loudest to me.
