Tire troubles can be a bother, especially when you’re not sure what’s wrong. It sounds like you’re dealing with cupped tires, which can be fixed by a mechanic.
Tire cupping is caused by either:
  • Wear and tear.
  • Poor vehicle alignment.
  • An issue with the shocks.
  • Poor tire inflation.
Identifying the issue can help you find the fix. You’ll need to fix your vehicle’s alignment or shocks if these are the cause of your tire cupping.
If the tires are badly cupped, you may need to replace them. However, fixing what caused the issue can prevent it from happening again. If the cupping on the tires is not too bad, have your tires rotated.
While cupped tires won’t be covered, there are plenty of repairs a good
