Re: Tyre pressure discrepancy
Yes, the Avon Storm fronts on my old pointy S used to cup very noticeably, because of the stock & unmodified forks with crap damping. On my Gen 3's stock forks (which are miles better than the Gen 2), same tyres, same pressure, zero cupping.

Re: Tyre pressure discrepancy

Is that too little or too much rebound damping that causes the cupping? I have Maxton cartridge conversions on the front and get a little cupping, but the rear, with a ZX10R shock, is more severe, even though I feel the ride quality is superior to the standard shock. I should mention that I got a lot less cupping with the Avon Storm 3D XM rear, compared to the Avon Spirit ST rear, but I suspect that is because the Spirit ST has, relatively, more grooves/less land area in the tread pattern.

Re: Tyre pressure discrepancy
Too little, I believe (based on the cupping I got with my pointy S, which had the woefully under-damped and crap standard forks)
