If the current tires are only cupped don't worry about it. If the tread is still above the wear bars and no weather cracking is in the tread grooves or any other part of the tire run it some more. All tires will cup. Heavy bikes cup tires faster than light bikes. It ain't avoidable, because it's the nature of the beast.
From most reports I've heard is that Venoms are a great cornering tire but wear fast due to softer rubber for cornering traction. I've tried several different brands on my old 1500 in the 100,000 plus miles I rode it and liked Dunlop E3s best even though they sing a bit and get louder as they eventually cup. I usually got about 20,000 through 24,000 on the rear tire and around 12,000 or a bit more on the front.
If you do buy new tires it's a LOT cheaper to take the wheels to someone who will mount and balance them than taking the bike in to have it done.
