Anyone else having cupping issues with Pirelli Cinturato RFTs?

I got the car about a month ago, within a week or two noticed the right front tire was cupping. I made the dealer replace it, even though they didn't want to. Now I noticed, a week or two after that, that the front left tire is cupping! I'm not hitting potholes, etc. Wondering if these tires just suck or something else is the issue.

If your car is relatively new it shouldn't be doing that, and it is probably not the tire's fault. I would suspect a failed shock that allows the tire to bounce, but that is unusual if the car is new. But not impossible. I have also been told that out of spec alignment can cause this although I am not certain of that. So certainly a dealer inspection of the shock would be in order and maybe an alignment. --Bob

Thanks. Dealer is going to replace the second tire as well, which is nice.
