Putting new tires on probably fixed the wobble. When front tires get worn they often get a little squirrely. The is no "alignment" to do when installing tires, just making sure the bead is completely seated all around. Wire spoked wheels can get out of true and need truing to fix wobbles, but with our cast wheels, they don't go out of true unless they get whacked good.[/QUOTE]

Thanks!
I had the impression there is alignment to the extent that if the rear tire isn't aligned with the front (i.e. both tires must be straight), which could happen with careless chain adjustment. I put a mark on each chain adjusting nut to make sure I turn each the same amount.
