High all, I have a 2008 Linhai / Diamo Turista 300 with over 9000 miles of almost trouble free miles,
. Lately I am seeing the 2000 mile Avon Viper Stryke tire cupping severely. I am not sure I want to try any long trips on it. Do any of you know what causes the tire to cup? I am unable to take photos at this time. Thanks for any help you might have. Jeff

You could have one of two problems or both , either cheap tires or inadequate or worn suspension. Your tires aren't cheap but the shocks are at least 7yrs. old with 9K mi. , I would say you need to buy new tires and new shocks.
