front wheel flex?

Hi there, whenever i make tight turns, i hear the distinct sound of one of the front brake pads rubbing the rim....

this doesnt happen if im just going straight...

i soon realized that my entire front wheel was flexing whenever my bike wasn't perpendicular to the ground...

what is this due to?

i noticed that i can even manually push the front wheel from side to side! i can do so with the rear wheel, but with much greater difficulty...

would tightening each front wheel spoke by 1 round help?

These are new sets of sun rhyno lites... i suspect there isnt enough tension in the front wheel spokes...

Someone advise please?

thanks!
