[QUOTE="scott degroot, post: 923694, member: 66039"] I've never heard someone describe it that way and essentially you are correct but that is just wear casued by incorrect toe. Tire cupping, or chopping, as it is also refered to, is the tread of a tire that has developed high and low spots. If you were to run you hand along the tire in the diretion of travel you would feel the tread is high and low,(almost like looking down the edge of a serrated knife) usually the front of each tread block will be lower than the rear of the same tread block, this is caused by the tire hopping up and down on the road due to what is usually worn out shocks/struts but can in some cases be caused by tire balance and lack of rotation.
