no problems with my recall replacements at all..perhaps your installer is not balancing those correctly...some use that "sand balancer" and that goes out of round after 2500+miles..a friend just removed His and went witrh traditional weight balance.

I'm seconding Horton...
If your tires are cupping... to me that's a sure sign that you aren't keeping your tires up to pressure.
I've got over 10k on my standard and I just put on my second metz... only because it was in the shop anyway.

I got 5500 miles out of Bridgestones before they were replaced under the recall and they still had lots of tread left. I'd have seen 10k-12k out of 'em easy.

when I took off the bridgestones they were splitting on the inside and cupping All three sets of tires that I had on the bike are doing the same thing.I am running the right tires pressure as called for on the tire.

Tires are the achilles heel for the R III's if you ride somewhat aggressively. For the Tourer you have lots of choices. My thoughts on the matter come after 43700 miles on regular rockets. I will not go to another set of stock Metz's. Most folk like em, not me. With the weight and torque it produces, finding a tire that can handle the machine is an ongoing challenge. When you find some that work please free that info here. Going dark, not recommeded by me, is just one way to thwart the economic hardship.
