is this considered 'cupping'?
just noticed this on my 2000 Toyota Camry, bought these tires brand new quite a few years ago and didn't notice any unusual wear until recently









it's happening on all four tires, on the outside edges of the tires
pretty sure the shocks are fine
what do you guys think?

 

alignment?

 

Probably just alignment wear. Too much toe-in and it's causing some scrubbing on the outside shoulder. Totally fixable.

 

Cheap tires with misalignment? They are goodyears, but maybe a bad batch of rubber was shot into the mold or a temp was off in the molding process caused the rubber to not wear but degrade. I imagine that that kind of wear is not purely alignment as you would feel that level of crappiness.

 

looks like aggressive cornering with too low tire pressure to me ...

new teenage driver in the household?

I thought it could be alignment, but would it go out of specs together in all four corners at once?
And it's driving straight too

Lol it's my moms DD, and she's in her 50s so I don't think she would corner aggressively
And tire pressure was fine when I checked it once a while

 

'Not cupping. 'Looks like crappy tires to me unless the alignment is WAY off or the pressure is WAY low. Goodyears?? I'd get something decent.
