How many miles on the metz ?
Tire cupping is normal it shows up in just about every tire, it’s because of us riding on the right side of the road (we cup on the left), in england theirs cup on the right side of the tire, it’s got to do with left turns and such.

Since I have the same problem too, thats a damn good idea ! Let’s go !!! : - ) or we can both save load of money and buy Metz front tires maybe they did crack the problem w/left side tire wear ? after all Metz are German and they don’t design chump tires or anything ! remember in the article “might the Avon designers know something about this wear?” my Dunlops have almost the same tire pattern.

Hmmm...might be a used tire , ur tyre, business in my future? On my FXDWG I had no problem doing 3 digits, that is until I added a fork mounted windshield. I fist noticed the woble when passing on the freeway under excelleration. With out the windshield handling is much improved. I kind of liked that whindhield...
