Like Billy said, everyone is saying whether their tires have cupped or not, but not mentioning which size rear they are running. Maybe it is just the lower profile 18" rears like mine that do it.

I got 9K out of my stock rear tire on my 13 CVO Ultra.  Noticed howling after riding to Sturgis (About 2K miles) and then doing the Beartooth Hwy.  I did do a lot of down shifting on the curves, but 9K???  The center was almost to the wear bars and the sides were major cupped.  Just sad.  Put American Elites on and have a couple thousand on them so far with no issues.

BTW:   Stock TIRE, 16 INCH BLACK WALL 180/65B/16 Obviously the old Dunlop formula (non-T).

Mine is the 180/55/18

I had cupping on a few older 16 but was questioning the new "T" 16's for wear. Seems like most are getting more than old compound
