careful, judging by the service, those tires may have been sitting the shelf for years, who knows maybe they even stored them outside in the sun.

Ok, well I'm glad you have experience with them. The cupping on mine lead to some SERIOUS head shake and that REALLY bothered me. Funny, but I could never get a pressure I was comfortable with. They would either "SLOG" through turns and feel very mushy, or just a little more pressure and they seemed very jittery to the point of losing traction. The rear would spin pretty easily or slog around depending on only a couple PSI.
Oh well, I think I like the BS 016's now even though they probably don't seem to last as long.
