Only "radial wobble" I ever had with mine was from trying to run narrow wheels, like you would a bias tire. I use 14" wide wheels on my 13" X 31" MT radials, 13 psi, never spins or wobbles. Tubeless, they don't leak.

A-B-A tested MT, GoodYear & Hoosier, same day, even with all of them dead hooking, MTs were quicker. Hoosier was quicker than Goodyear, which was the slowest.
I blamed that on weight, GoodYears were/are about 5lbs per tire heavier than Hoosier. Hooked as hard as the MTs, but still slower. Most of the difference was in 60'. I don't know much, but I blamed it on weight, and maybe sidewall design.

Don't know if this will help somebody, or offend somebody. Hoping for the former.
