Pump it up to 32psi; go for a ride. Has the problem gone away?

16psi?
'Kin 'ell! Is it the first time you've ever checked it?
Tyre pressure intervals are subjective but they should at least be checked once a year.

If you are pressing on the tread it can feel rock hard with no air in it.

Stop being a mong, put in the pressure the bike and tyre manufacturers have agreed is best for your bike.. They don't do it for shits and giggles. Rolling Eyes

I'm surprised the OP didn't notice wobbles a bit earlier, makes me wonder how long the front tyre was under inflated...

it Could pump up the thread views, inflate member numbers, fill the flat areas of the forum with some needed fresh air.
