Hey all, thanks much for the responses and advice!!

I rechecked my records and I am inflating to 36 PSI (cold) F+R. I feel the minimal loss in ride quality will more than be made up with better fuel economy and tire life (unless this is contributing to my situation ).

So, some of you feel this is "normal" wear and noise?? When I run my hand over the outside edge of the front tires, you can clearly feel the cupping. Remember these tires only have approx. 10K on them.

Again thanks and look forward to futher input/suggestion!!

SG; thanks for the compliments on the user name/avatar!!
