Re: tires Reply #3 - 07/09/10 at 06:02:13 The front stocker started cupping pretty bad by 5,000 & the rear had always felt like wet Owl Crap, even on dry roads, but, I rode them till the tires had deteriorated to the point that I could no longer run thru the sweepers at speed w/o it pitching & yawing handlebars wobbl;ing. Recommend a fork brace, too.
