Front tires......had a small vibration at 60-70 mph.
The wheel weights were installed on the new tires (a year aago) toward the center of the car inside of the rim on one tire and toward the outside of the car (inside the rim) on the other tire which I thought was a bit strange. The guy balancing the tires today thought there was some "cupping" which I have never heard of and could not really see on my tires compared to images on google.
Any way......after the wheel balance both wheels had wheel weights on the inside and toward the outside of the rim (a couple small weights each place on both tires). The tires were balanced by the same guys who installed the original wheel weights on the tires when new.
Took it for a "spin" at speeds up to 90 mph as a test and balance was perfect with zero vibration at any speed......so I am now thinking I have no problem with relatively new tires with just a few thousand miles on them
I just never heard of "Tire Cupping" before and was interested if anyone else had heard of the term
