Problem overview

Some Ram 2500 owners report experiencing front tires cupping on the outer edge despite repeated alignments, which may be attributed to a bad left tie rod causing uneven tire wear. Others have noted that persistent issues could indicate misalignment with the manufacturer's specifications, suggesting the need for a thorough alignment check. Additionally, some owners have been advised that poor tire quality could contribute to this problem, emphasizing the importance of using good-quality tires and maintaining proper inflation. Furthermore, issues with suspension components, particularly shocks, have been reported to exacerbate uneven tire wear, leading some to consider upgrading to heavy-duty shocks for better handling. Lastly, aggressive driving habits or frequent heavy loads may also play a role in tire wear, prompting owners to monitor their driving practices. Addressing these factors is crucial for resolving the issue of tire cupping in the Ram 2500.
