Bridgestone Potenza G019 Grid

Red some help please. I have 22,000 on these tires. Rotated front to back, back to front every 5k. No problems till lately I've noticed some noise. Pulled Saturday to rotate and both rear tires are cupped pretty bad on the inside.
Why would this happen?
What can I do now?
I have an appointment tomorrow morning to have the alignment checked.
Any advice? Thanks a bunch!

Only solution I know of is to replace them. Possible to road force balance them if they are not to bad off.

How many miles on the car? When was the last alignment? There is no reason to replace the tires just because they're cupped a little.

FYI, I had a set of these on our Subaru Outback, they were LOUD. Replaced with a set of Continental DWS, amazing difference.
