Tires cupping

[RenegadeJeeper]

All stock.
Outside of tires are cupping at just 1700miles.
Took to dealer and they say everything is in spec on alignment.
Any reason this would happen?

Besides tow.

Post a picture. It sounds like feathering rather than cupping. Toe-in could be the cause...

And if the dealer says that’s normal, take it to an alignment shop that knows what its doing

What's your air pressure at?

 

[RenegadeJeeper]

36 psi

Probably toe setting is off spec.

Get it aligned at a shop. My tires were doing the same. The alignment specialist stated that when new vehicles are strapped down for dealer delivery it can easily put the vehicle out of spec. Now, ours steers straight, no vibration, and my tires are fine.

Also, does your dealer have an alignment rack or did they use a measuring tape? A lot of dealers would send it out to a shop so make sure they’re not blowing smoke and actually did something to check it. They’d include an alignment report that shows it in spec or not.

Definetely take it to a shop and have it checked. If it comes back out of alignment take the sheet to the dealer and show them. haha. I personally use firestone as you can spend the coin and get lifetime alignments. It entitles you to adjustments and you pay for it up front last time I did it was 140 something I think but I could take it back multiple times if I hit a pot hole, or banged it around on the trails.

So here we are a year later...
What have you done to it to alleviate the problem?

 

[RenegadeJeeper]

Took to alignment twice and no issue they said

What air pressure are you running, and at what mileage have you rotated them?

 

[RenegadeJeeper]

36
5k rotate and at 9k now

Sorry, I'm not able to make a diagnosis with the photos, given that you have them inflated properly and have rotated them.
