I have a 2007 Honda Accord with 56K miles. The rear tires have about 16K miles on them and have become cupped on the inside edges. They were put on the back (new) and were not rotated until recently when the road noise increased to the point that I had them checked.
- Alignment is good on all wheels
- No obvious problem with bearings, brakes, shocks, etc.
- The previous tires (same brand) were new with the car and lasted 40K miles on the back with no rotation and no problems.
Is there any history of the tires themselves being the cause of the problem? Does anyone have any suggestions?
I have cross rotated them to the front with the hope that the cupping will even out with additional miles. Is that reasonable?
