can be caused by an unbalanced tire condition, faulty wheel bearings, loose parts, fatigued springs or weak shock absorbers. Check the condition of the shock by forcefully bouncing the front end of the car several times and releasing it on the down stroke. Failure of the vehicle to settle after two strokes suggests worn shocks or struts

Rotating tires means to have them changed from the position they are currently in, every so often, to help keep the wear on them even, like putting the front ones to back ones and back ones to the front. Years ago, tires were moved around to keep the wear about the same on each tire, and this was done on about a 6 month period. The front tires wear differently then the back ones do, because of the steering and the way they suspension is setup. So by moving them around, the tires wear a bit more evenly. There are different ways of rotating tires, like some will rotate the left to the right side and vice versa, and some will rotate back to front. So if you just take it to a tire dealer or shop, they will probably do it the best way, and the cost is not that much.

4 Wheel Drive Vehicles with a straight or Solid front Axel are Prone to Cupping - as already has been said - shocks etc. also ! They need 2 B Rotated more often.

Could be an alignment problem but also it could very well be a bad shock problem if the shocks are getting weak they will not hold the tire down and will cause a bouncing and abnormal wear on tires

There are two things that cause tire cupping.First is not rotateing tires when you should per owners manual.The second is the front end out of align and needs corrected.Hope this helps.

Shocks are bad or the suspension is bad--allowing high speed wheel hop--wearing the tires with all that bouncing--make sure you get it looked at and fixed--new tires too--cupping will result in a screwed up ride--shaking and all that.

Bad balancing, bad alignment, worn front-end parts, &/or a lack of rotating tires!

Alignment is off most likely

Could be that your car needs a front end alignment
