Actually, I sort of liked the 207's but maybe I'm not
in the majority. Something I DID notice is that when
they are older they do give that squirm under what for
me is "practice" braking--finding the edge of the ABS
in an empty place somewhere. Possibly related to the
cupping, I don't know. I run more PSI in front--about
38-40. Check all those other things too--I didn't but
it went away with a new tire. If you don't like the
cupping (and long for some mileage), get an AVON on
the front!! I currently have an Azzaro II on the
front (120/70) and a Dunlop 205 on the back (170/60).
(Upon checking the fancy new Dunlop site, I found they
actually recommend a 180/55 for a 5.5" rim in the 205
tire)
Hope you solve it!
