Tire Cupping Poll

[Gordon Tucker]

How many people in this group has had the tire cupping problem? And when dose it usually show up.

Mine started at approx. 22,000 miles

 

[EddieS'04]

Mine showed at 500miles. A change to rsx shocks at 1500miles, stoped it..

Also I tweaked the toe in one half a turn negative..

The GY rts tires are still crap though.

 

[Bob McDonald]

Haven't seen any cupping on my '02. I got over 70K miles on the original Michelin's and currently have about 55K miles on the TOYO's on the Trac now.

 

[B M]

20,000 on the tires it started..... 58000 on the shocks... 2001 will be changing out the shocks in the next few months. Not to worried about it because for the last couple years I have been averaging about 100 miles a month..

 

[Bart Adkins]

mine started at 'bout 20k on the stock michelins.

 

[Tom Schindler]

Mine went away when I dumped the Goodyear tires.

[Mark Rutt]

Had no problem with stock shocks and Goodyear RTS tires. At 38,000 I changed to Monroe Sensa Trac shocks and Dueler Revos and had the alignment checked. I have had problems ever since.

 

[Richard Toms]

Around 30k the stock GY started cupping. Changed them out to Revos, at around 40k. Did notice tires starting to cup again around 60k. So I changed the OEM shocks to RSX17000. No problems since, and I currently have 70k on my 04 Adrenalin.

 

[Benjamin Feinstein]

From new I notiiced the wear on the front tires. Had the tires rotated to the back and replaced the stock shocks with monroe reflex shocks and have not noticed a problem with the front tires.

 

[Thomas Rogers]

12K miles on my '04.

[Greg Stuhlsatz]

I've had goodyears put on at 7,000 miles after firestone recall. I still have them with the oem shocks at 40,000 miles. I just changed shocks to reflex 100 miles ago. I have never had cupping problems.

 

[Gerald Pierce]

I had it on the OEM tires. Replaced them about 35-40k miles. I now have almost 80k and just starting to show a little wear(not enough yet to call it cupping for sure). I replaced the shocks at about 60k. I'll probably by another set of wheels and tires when I get home in November -- I want hub centric (or at least lug centric that can use the adapters to center them on the hub), unlike the ones I have now. My son is probably putting tons of miles on the ST since him and his wife find it better for hauling their new baby around thatn her Supra and his ranger ext cab so the tire wear will be more evident when I get home.

 

[Nelson Atwell]

It showed on my second ST at 12,000. I changed shocks, and my second set of Revos were beginning to cup at 40,000. I believe it is a design flaw.

 

[Judd Quarles]

Luckily, I've never had the problem on my '05. I'm right at 50K and I have the original RT/S tires and they are still in great shape. That said, I don't really like them but I won't buy new ones until they wear out or cause trouble.

 

[Woppy V]

@ 60,000 miles it hit me... replaced them all and haven't missed those horrible tires/shocks since!

 

[2]

Never had that issue on my 01 or my 03.

 

[Jenn D]

Cupping started at 4,500 mi on my '03. It got really bad at 13K, and tires were replaced shortly after by me because Ford refused to do anything about it past 12K (even though they clearly stated the problem at 4,500 mi).

 

[A K]

Roughly 20,000 on my '04. Replaced at roughly 35,000 with Duellers and Rancho RSX shocks. No sign of cupping after 5,000.

 

[mookie]

48,000 miles. No cupping issues.

 

[Ed C]

Mine have been cupped since I got the truck with about 35,000 miles on it. I replaced the shocks but I think the damage was done on the stock GY tires. I'm thinking about getting wheels, tires and alignment when I get home next year and I hope that takes care of it. It drives me nuts!:angry:
