Welcome back Wilkee

get new tires!.. Those tires have been sitting awhile and may start cupping soon and that's the worse feeling ever at high speeds.
Better safe than sorry.

I was on the freeway the other day, just wanted to see how it felt again. i was going about 110mph, downshifted to slow down which i've done alot before, but this time the back started wobbling alot. is this from cupping?... and what exactly is cupping?

Did you downshift while you where holding on the brakes, specifically the front brakes? I beleive its the same effect as giving it gas and using the front brake at the same time. I'm not 100% sure, but its worth checking out if it does it without applying the brake.
