Cupping...things that make you go hmmmm. I've heard all kinds of reasons why but I can tell you this, tires that are raced on or track day tires don't seem to cup. It may have something to do with the tire heating up and not shredding any rubber, cooling down and folding in on itself. Track day/race tires get the rubber shredded off and I'm thinking when the tire cools and shrinks, the rubber has room to contract.
Just a thought.
Front tires seem to cup worse than rears.
At the track, the front tires are scrubbed pretty good during braking and turning. They heat up and the rubber peels off.
