That is exactly, it feels like something is flexing. One of the guys in
our local club said it was because of the taller tyres (more flexing in the
sidewalls). Sorry about the late reply, I was in hospital for a couple of

Now that I am thinking about it, I could feel a little bit of that as soon
as I changed from smaller tyres to my current ones. Could it be because of
the sidewall flexing under weight and torque? Its good to know that its
not related to the driveline.
