If the tire is a Dunlop, they're known for cupping. Normal wear, even on their racing tires.
Personally, I replace the tube and rimstrip with every tire change. It's an additional few extra bucks, (less than $20) and prevents having an issue later.
I've heard good things about Metzler, and have personally used Avons (Venom series) and like the way they wear, last and handle, even in the wet.
