Goodyear Territory tires cupping

[Chevyman2022]

So when I bought my zr2 in early August I noticed that the tires were cupping pretty badly. So rotated them right away but they still seem to be cupping. Anyone else have this problem?

 

[Chevyman2022]

I did an alignment too

Need more info,
You got brand new tires with how many miles? And they’re cupping?
I don’t expect much from OE tires in the longevity department, how do you drive, if your throwing this rig into corners and making turns at speed, compressing the suspension I wouldn’t expect much life but 1 month,
More info please

Tires have 22000 miles on them. I’ve put 4000 mostly highway miles on them since I got it.

Mine have 22K on them and are perfectly fine. Not sure what the original owner did but for the last 1K+ miles Ill drive it around curves like its a sports car just to see what it will and wont do lol.

He might have never rotated. How often do you? My mechanic said rotate every oil change. Does that sound excessive?

 

[Byrds8]

Plan on getting mine balanced and rotated on Saturday. Generally every 5-7500 miles I get them done again.

For the type of tires there are they wear quite well, but ideally they should be rotated every 5k.

Once they're screwed up by not being rotated, you'll never get them flat again so just do the nest you can until you decide to replace them.

I go 5k, but if I start seeing the edges wear on the fronts, I'll do it sooner.

Every tire wears different and every truck has slightly different geometry. Combine that with driving conditions and driver habits and you don't know what it'll do.

Towing a lot will wear them quicker too.

I rotate every and balance all of them every 2.5-3k
Got the road hazard warranty deal with Discount tire for $250. Free rotation and balance for 60k and if a tire goes, they replace with a new one for $40. Great deal!

After I purchased the truck I paid for the certs at Discount also. Not a bad deal at all.

 

[MNNJR69]

Yes!!!! They are just under $300 per tire.

You paid how much per tire for the certs?

 

[MNNJR69]

20or25. A new tire full cost is Just under 300

Gotcha. I was about to say I spent like 114 for the set of certs

I paid a little extra for the TPMS per tire though so my total a little higher. Nevertheless it's a great deal!

 

[DNZR2]

I’ve got 16,000 on the originals with no issues. Rotation every 5,000.

 

[MNNJR69]

I've got 25k on mine And they are starting to show some wear, but that is norma l

 

[andrec10]

42k on mine and rotated every 5k. Starting to get loud. Will replace before winter.

OP, that’s a little more reasonable, and like @44sixpack said once they start wearing bad just nurse them along
