The set I am using right now is AE - and the cupping is worse at 8K than the stock HD's ( started around 10k) - I'll probably put another 3 - 4K on the rear and replace it with stock - the stock lasted about 15k before they got nosy. Also, I like as much rubber on the road as possible.

Just got two new MC II's today. Rear was cupped pretty good and front was starting to cup. Both had good tread left. Measured the front at 5/32. I got 20k out of them so I can't complain and I ride pretty hard. I plan to monitor the pressure like a maniac on these. We'll see.
