On my old K6 pointy, the front Avon Storm used to cup significantly, as you describe. I always thought that was because of the crap forks and the fact the pointy tended to push the front a little (well, mine did at least).

The front Storms on my Gen 3 never cupped, different steering geometry etc I suppose and also the Gen 3 runs a 120/70 profile.
