Cupping front tire
#11
My 2013 came with the Dunlop D205s and I experienced the same cupping issue. I am meticulous about tire pressure so that was not the problem. I have been using the Bridgestone BT54s since and absolutely no cupping now. I think the Dunlops D205s are just crappy tires.

Like Pauley my bike came with the D205s too. And I had the cupping. Unfortunately for me, I just put new D205s on last year. So I guess the cupping will be back soon Sad

I'm with Pauley, D205's are junk. My front started cupping at 2,500 mi. They felt like riding on a freshly hailed over road. Almost wrecked on tar snakes a few times. Put on PR3's at 3,600 mi. Best money spent on my bike so far. PR3's going on 10,000 mi. now, gonna have to replace rear soon, starting to look a bit squared off.
