Has anyone else experienced uneven / cupping tire wear with the cooper ST Maxx tires? I have a set of pizza cutters (255/85) that has ~32k on them and have generally been pretty happy with them. However, over the last year or two they have been cupping more and more. Interestingly its on all 4 tires so it doesn't see related to a bad shock in one corner. The shocks and suspension bushings were new when I did the lift and tires as well. This is the first set of tires I've run with the lift, but I don't remember seeing any wear issues with the street tires the PO / I ran the first 6 months I had it. The shocks are icon and the springs are slinky.
I have a shimmy in the steering at 50-60 that is very annoying. Feels like something up front is loose / driving over a bunch of river rock. After checking rod ends and bushings a few times over I'm pretty sure its the tires. Here are some pics below of the cupping.
Besides suspension what else could be causing this? Has anyone else had issues with this tire? Its a bit annoying to trash them when most of the tread has ~20k life left on it, but I'm not sure there is much recovery from this uneven of wear. From the pics below you can see at worst there is ~5.25mm of tread depth difference between the leading edge of adjacent lugs.
