a tire does not cup on its own. cupping is almost always caused by a worn hub and sometimes a worn ball joint or both. depending on how bad the part is warn it can take the tire thousands of miles to cup.
we see people at the dealership ******** about never wanting a certain brand of tire because it cupped on them. not the tire and any tire will cup over time if the hub is worn no matter what tire it is.
everybody thinks a cupping tire is a bad tire i always thought so to until i started working at a dealership.

i cant say about how long that tire lasts cause i never had them but i never heard a customer of ours say a bad thing about them. if i get 30-40k out of a set of all terrains i'm happy.

but this is strait from our service manual

Cups or scalloping appearing around the edge of the tread almost always indicate worn or damaged suspension parts. Adjustment of wheel alignment alone will seldom cure the problem. Any worn component that connects the wheel to the car can cause this condition. Worn components should be replaced with new ones. The worn tire should be balanced and moved to a different location on the car if the damage is not severe.

im not going to dispute that yours cupped despite your front end parts being in perfect shape although a ram with perfect front end components is a rarity. these front end parts are cheap these days and not being greasable is just stupid if you ask me but im just stating what i was taught and what i have seen working at a dodge dealership for two and a half years.

I agree with the lack of being able to service the fronts, I guess Dodge is to cheap to make an older setup with a fitting. Good info posted.

Weird...that's the total opposite of what I heard when I asked before I bought mine. The top 3 things people mentioned at the onset was the good ride, low noise and high mileage. Everybody said they loved them, and a lot of them had high mileage at over 40k, and some more than 60k.

Hopefully mine will be issue-free.

I haven't had any issues with the goodyears. Hopefully I won't with the Nitto's either..
