Chris, I offered the same comments regarding cupping as you did, only about 4 pages back. SPR prefers to denigrate BFG and various Rennlist folk. Trollish behavior I think. He has no desire to learn what causes cupping since he has DECIDED it's the tires. His DECISION is FINAL. Will his next rant be about Michelin because their tires also cup?

Best,

Bob, I thought echoing the previously mentioned, great advice would help. I hope so, really.

Yes, his decision is final. Now lets go tally the votes.. After which, the person voted-off will be asked to leave tribal council immediately..

Strangely enough, this fellow is beginning to sound a bit like GhettoRacer. His initial rant is called an ejaculation of frustration. Sort of the type that builds up like an org*sm, but you cannot hold it back....

Arthur - I agree - similar style but the choice of language is too erudite for Ghetto. "can I drove your car?"

Back to the original, original topic. Cupping, as others have suggested, typically stems from worn suspension components, bad alignment, improperly loaded tires etc. Many times it is not the tires themselves, just that tires are the result of such problems and is the 'wear item' and the louder 'tattletale' of the whole assembly. FWIW
Agree. Perhaps some tires depending on tread pattern, treadwear rating, or some other composition variable express the inherent suspension problem quicker than others. Thanks for spinning this back on course to give other than entertainment value to the thread.

I swore, mean sware, or is it swear, who cares anyways, its not like this is a spelling bee? Bea? B? and SPR is grading me. If he was, i think i would get an "A" three times. But, i haven't had this much fun by meself, myself, damn there i go again!!! (i am not trying to be mean, its just that i am laughing so hard i cant even tipe, no wait i mean type, i think at one point i even leaked a little.LOOOLOOOLOOOL!!!
As far as the original tire problem, until you type the following 7 letters
{ IM SORRY} to the respected gentleman, who cares about your out of wack? whack? Whak? rubber. Maybe its not the tire thats out of round???
You did fill them up with air right? LOL! If not just stick an air hose from your overinflated ego directly to the tire, and fill.

P.S. please feel free to make any comments you chose, i mean choose.LOL
