I threw a set of Pirelli Scorpion Rallys on my bike & noticed it would build up a progressively worse front end wobble at freeway speeds. I previously installed a high fender on the bike & did not have the issue with the stock tires. I don’t think this is an issue, because it doesn’t do the high speed dirt bike fender flutter that can induce or exacerbate wobble. Anyway, it came to me that the two tires may not have the same radius even though they are the same nominal size. I dropped the fork tubes about 1/4”, so only the caps were above the clamp & the issue has gone away. Hope this helps anyone with the same issue.
