anybody else experiencing this? i really like these tires but this seems to be a nasty side effect (did a search). any "fixes" for this? ( next set here, the dreaded cupping has begun) by the way i had the car aligned the day after i put the set on last november.

It could also come from bad struts... cupping, comes from the tire bouncing... Or it could also just be a bad batch of rubber... Either way, have them replaced, if it continues you may end up with a blowout...

Improper inflation possibly, or it needs an alignment.

Improper inflation wouldn't cause cupping... That would just cause uneven wear, to much air the tire will wear out in the center faster, to little air and it will wear out on the inside and outside faster...

32 lbs all around on the tires. trust me, i had an XR4Ti (the dreaded steering wheel "nibble" they were known for) for 7 years. i religiously check my pressures. 2 alignments since they were put on. all 4 are showing cupping. not "real" bad but still there. that is why i was wondering if anyone else may have experienced this with the kdws's. i had the same problem on mt 96 SE but, when i switched over to the goodrich comp ta/hr's no problem.

I have been running KDWS's since late March and they are just fine. Sounds like it may be an issue with the car itself as suggested above.

If both outter edges are wearing quickly on the inside you pressure is the issue! I ran 34-35 PSI in my KDW's!
