HI, a cupped tire well not get better... Usually it is caused by bad shocks or front end parts..

good luck

first of all, do a better job of maintaining proper tire pressure! read the "max" pressure on the side of the tire and that's where you run them!! if it says 44psi....42psi is ok, no less! they will straiten out on their own but if you continue to run them with low pressure they never will.... second, what are these tires on? did you buy the cheapest thing you could with the lowest load range and put em on a suburban? the tires you had before could have been 6 or 10 ply and there for capable of carrying a heavier load!...... third, how are your shocks?? they also affect tire wear!

If your "tire guy" didn't tell you any of this...FIND A NEW TIRE GUY!!!!

good luck

Cupped tires do not cure themselves . They are a result of bad suspension .

Even if the suspension is repaired the cupping will continue .

Fix your suspension before your next set of tires .

Please include the year make and model of your car so we can figure out if you may have front lower control arm bushing problems. The dealer of your car would have picked-up with this if there was a problem. They can change the bushings if you have a GM-car.

General Grabber AT II started vibrating and shaking real bad in the front end @ around 5500 miles, so I took it in for routine rotation and also a balance. The tire guy told me the front tires were cupping and would smooth out on their own. When I bought the tires I had an alignment done, and 2 tie rods replaced same day. It's been 3000 miles since the rotation, and the cupped tires ( on the rear now ) aren't getting any better. What do I do. Also I had these same tires for the last set and never had a problem, and got almost 70,000 miles out of them with some tread remaining.
