I searched posts but didnt see this exact question.
So I have to drive my 200es on the road for about a mile to get to our property. The front end vibrates like hell...actually it is more of a shimmy. I suspect the tire is a bit out of round causing this because i checked the axle and it is straight. The tire does leak a bit of air, but it still has about 90% of tread left on it so I hate to trash it and spend $$ on a new tire. So here is my question: if I put an innertube inside the front tire, will it help to correct any flaws in the tire or amplify the flaws when going down the road? I have never tried to use an innertube on anything aside from a bicycle tire so not sure how it would affect the performance of my machine on or off pavement.
Any info/advice is appreciated, Chris
