Default Cupping on tires....HELP....

Hey guys.... I have 205/40/17 tires (Parada spec 2) on my wheels... And when I drive street and/or highway, my car pulls to the side... Steering wheel shakes and vibrates a lot... I had my alignment checked, and balljoints as well.. Everything is fine... The Tech that checked everything for me told me that my tires ars cupping and is causing this "uncomfortableness" when Im driving... Just wanted to see what you guys think... Do you agree? Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any opinion, comment is appreciated...Thanks !!!!

Something is causing your tires to get cupped.

What are your alignment specs?

Have you had your wheels re-balanced?

How are the suspension components? Anything bent? Blown shocks?

Hi have tokico hp with h&r sport springs with a camber kit rite now... Before, i had h&r race springs, no camber kit... so my tires were wearing on the inside... Im guessing thats how it started... Not too sure... But my tires are cupping... BTW, just order me some Koni Adjustables and new tires... Should have them installed by Mon... Hopefully, that solves everything....
