    Default Tires Cupping

    Have had laser alignment, then new ball joints, new tires Manufacturer recommended BRP, regular alignment and now tires are cupping on the outside front. Rides smooth no pulling or bouncing. Any ideas?

    Default Let's see..!!

    having done all that..I would say it is more likely the tire pressure. Pressue and suspension should be adjusted for the ryde. If set up for solo then ryding double or loaded would make your tires under inflated. Suspension as well.

    Tire pressure too low. Front 20-22 Rear 30 Need to check air pressure at least every two weeks or if riding a lot and longer distances every other time you ride. Possible toe in is too much also. Check with Joe and Ann Meyer they are the experts at Squared Away.

    I have the same issue and mine had the Rolo laser alignment done and then checked after the cupping showed up. I always keep my front pressure at 20# so that's not it.

    I believe it's the tires themselves so when I wear them out I will be switching to car tires as have others.

    Thanks for everyone's input the tires have less than 3,000 miles on them, same air pressure as before it is at the dealer so we shall see.

    Likely a bit to much toe in. They do tend to handle tighter with a bit more toe though.
