Has anyone hear of Nitto tires cupping after only 5000 miles on them? I had them rotated and balanced Monday. Started shaking afterwards. Brought it back this am. Guy says from 50 feet away he can see the cupping. Wtf! I can't see it!

X2. Something doesn't sound right. Nittos are known to balance and wear great. Is it all of the tires?

Sounds like they weren't mounted and balanced correctly and they were trying to make an excuse for their mistake...

I'm in the same boat, once it starts.... There is no correcting it. The tires will continue to wear unevenly.
