07 Accord SE tire cupping question

[Pawl]

I bought a 2007 Accord a year ago with some Bridgestone Potenza tires on it. The car has 67,000 miles on it now. We have put 19,000 miles on it since we bought it. I was rotating the tires and noticed cupping on the tires. I did a tread depth check and decided to get new tires.
I have always used Michelins with good luck so I bought 4 more. I have also heard cupping usually means struts need to be replaced. I have a 2005 Accord Ex with 140,000 miles and have not seen this cupping problem on that car. Any thoughts?

I have 67,000 miles on Accord SE and was rotating Bridgstone Potenzas. This is my daughters car and when I was driving it the tires were loud even with radio turned up. I noticed 2 of the tires were cupping. I checked the tread depth and decided to get new Michelins. I personally have had good luck with Michelins. I am not sure what to do next to find out what was causing those tires to cup.
Not sure if it is a strut problem. Does cupping occur on any wheel or fronts only? 67,000 miles doesnt seem like a lot of miles but I have read some internet stories where people have had to change them with this kind of mileage. Do fronts wear out sooner than rears? Any thoughts/suggestions? Thanks

You need to have the steering and suspension inspected at a qualified shop. Also the alignment should be checked. Front wheel drive vehicles will wear the ft tires faster than the rears. Worn struts will cause tire cupping and it can happen on any tire, front or rear...
