Question '03 Excursion - Fr. Tire cupping problem

I have a new 2003 Excursion XLT, with-out autoride.

I noticed irregular front tire wear, after 2000 miles, went to dealer for alignment.

alignment done, 2000 miles later, returned, dealer agreed to replace tires, and re-align

3 months later, all 4 tires and rims were swapped out. (and 4 wheel alignmet)

now 1500 miles later cupping is noticable on outside of both front tires.

tires are Contentental SUV 17"

any ideas?

It this a design problem with the truck, or a tire issue?

dealers only solution is to rotate every 3000 miles.

note no cupping on rear tires.

thanx, bill

Also, the delay on getting tires swapped out, reportedly these tires were on recall....

Dealer took tires off new excursion to make swap.

anyone know about Contentinal SUV tire problems?

thanx again.
