Best price on M1's???
I need to buy some tires!! My front one is starting to "cup" and my rear is nearly bald. What causes the cupping? What size rear should I get 190 or 200. Mostly drag and casual knee dragger.Thanks!!!!

Usual price for m1's:the highest i would pay would be $120-$130.00 for rear,and $90.00-$100.00,for front.I got mine for $225.00 o.t.d.,but heard some mail orders are cheaper,check sport riders classifieds.I at 240lbs.,have always run a 190/120,seems the 190 feels better in the curves.
Cupping usually happens when the wrong air pressure is used,though some of the race tires i have seen do cup pretty easy,why i do not know,but hotter weather,and the older the tire did seem to play a small role when i used to sell tires.

tireexpress.com and parts411.com are pretty reasonable.

My front tire has about 6000 miles on it and is starting to get pretty bald. I think it is just age and a couple of sloppy wheelies!!!! Thanks guys, I will be ordering a set shortly.
