Cupping of a tire refers to a condition where the tread wears unevenly, creating a series of high and low spots that resemble a series of cups or scallops around the tire's circumference. This uneven wear can be caused by factors such as improper alignment, unbalanced tires, or worn suspension components. Cupped tires can lead to increased road noise, vibrations, and reduced traction, making it important to address the underlying issues to ensure safe driving. Regular tire maintenance, including rotation and alignment checks, can help prevent cupping.
