Cupped tires

[NYJeepGirl74]

I have a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JLU Rubicon. Factory Rubicon tires on it. 25,000 miles on it. Front tires are cupped. Tires are terrible noisy from it. I know its from lack of rotating the tires at recommended intervals. Will it help to move those front chopped to tires to the rear with a rotation. Will they wear down enough to quiet down and less vibration after a while. Wanted to hold off for at least 10,000 more miles to get new tires. Also want to go to 35 inch tires so don't want to just have to buy two factory sized tires at the moment. Thoughts? Suggestions? Besides rotate your tires more frequently - lesson already learned there.

Once tires are cupped, they are next to impossible to get back to normal. Vibration and whatnot from the uneven wear actually will exacerbate the issue. BFG AT's have always been susceptible to premature wear when they're not rotated in my experience, going back over a decade with these tires in various sizes on various vehicles.

They’ll tend to vibrate less noticeably and make less noise on the rear, but they won’t wear normally ad eliminate the cupping that’s already happened. It’ll make the next 10K miles more bearable.

Car tires usually should be rotated at 6K miles. I do my Jeep at 4K. If you wait too long as you have found ithe cupped tires you moved to the rear will not even out before the front tires are cupped also.

Whether they are AT's or MT's they need rotated sooner than you would on a car.
