Re: [ST] tire cupping

[Bil Swartz <bil@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Mike.  In all the discussions I've been having lately it seems some
tires are just more prone to this than others, and that cupping really is
more common than I thought, usually due to hard braking (I do engine
brake) and underinflation, etc.  And sometimes it just is gonna happen.

I like the feel of the 020's so I ordered another set so I too could see
how they do when I have 'em from new.
