RE: [ST] Mileage

["Big Riff" <big_riff@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I run 40 rear & 38 front.  I'm pretty consistant about checking and 
maintaining these numbers and I haven't really changed my habits or 
pressures as I change tire brands.  I don't know exactly what causes cupping 
either, but I do know that when all the other variables stayed the same, 
changing tire brands had an effect for me.   Also, I did experience cupping 
on the OEM Bridgestones.  It seemed much worse on those than on the Avons.  
At the time I was thinking it had something to do with tread patterns and 
aggressive use of the front brakes, but I'm not so sure about that 
anymore...
