Cupping on interior shoulders of rear tires

[TOUGEghost]

Rotation as in removing the wheels and tires and rotating them to a different position on the vehicle. This is done to prevent uneven tread wear and prolong the life of the tires.

Ah, understood. She is definately overdue for a rotation, but (and maybe I'm wrong) I would assume cupping would point to a suspension issue, I was under the impression that rotating just allowed all four tires to wear evenly in relation to eachother.

I just looked into the rotation issue some more. Definately thinking thats the problem, its been at least 1.5 years since she rotated the tires. I've been a amateur-ly working on cars for the last 5-6 years and never heard about that one. I just assumed rotating allowed all four tires to wear evenly in relation to each other. Thanks for the info.

just do some research before rotating them anything but front to back. Nowadays even a lot of cheap tires will almost disintegrate if you try to put them on the other side of the car. Something about handling characteristics making it not possible or something like that.
