Tires

Hey Guys,
When I took my SE in to the Dealership for my 5000 mile check up. They said my tires were starting to cup and said it was because I have a wide profile tire. These are the stock tires still. Is this true? Currently I only have 6200 miles on it and it is 8 months old. My steering wheel does start to vibrate at about 45-50ish MPH and the road noise from the tires are very loud now compared to what they were. I'm not sure what exactly is wrong. I did get a alignment done before christmas but perhaps the shop did it wrong?

Any suggestions?

I havent heard anything like that with the stock tires. Maybe they are defective. 6k miles is pretty short life for the Advans, unless you taking to the track..

Nope. No track use. Its my daily driver to and from work 95% of the time. I don't think anything is wrong with my suspension or steering that would cause this. Is there anyway to check without taking it to the dealer if the tires are defective? I planned on buying new tires in septemberish but dont think they should be cupping unless something is wrong somewhere?
