[QUOTE="Redfish Hunter, post: 1326603, member: 28773"] Good heavens. It is Friday, there may be a Friday Dogpile. This has been discussed over and over and over here on this forum. 1. Many of us have reported that the OEM Bridgestones are garbage. Of course, just as many seem to like the damned things. 2. 40 to 42 psi helps. I run mine at 41. 3. Riding/Braking styles have a lot to do with how the tire wears. 4. This is a heavy and powerful Sport Tourer with powerful brakes. The front tire is a casualty of that combination. I have always experienced front tire "cupping" on every motorcycle I have owned. I just ride it until the tire is worn out, then I get a new tire. Ride More, Stress Less. [/QUOTE]
