Cupping on Front Tires
 
I've noticed some slight cupping on the inside tread of both Front Tires. I'm at 31,000 miles. No evidence on the other two tires. I've had them rotated twice, at about 10K and 20K, which I know is not really enough. Anyone see this on theirs? Will rotation and balancing square them up?

Do you have the 32 or 33's ?
I have 60K(8K pulling a 4,000 lb camper) on the 33's and theres plenty of thread left(rotated every 8 to 16K and they look GR8) .I do have very slight cupping at this point
If you have the 32's I hear that you only get 30 to 40K out of them.

I have the factory 32's. I still have good tread and with rotation I expect another 10K miles, which will put me at about 40K on these puppies. I was just curious if others had seen the cupping. I assume, since it is not severe and shows up on both front tires, it's not necessarily a bad suspension element.

On my 2003 H2, I got 60,000 miles out of the original BFG AT tires -- no cupping at all.

I'll be switching to 33's when I get some new ones for my H3.

Red you could experiment with differnt tire pressures and up your rotation schedules...
