Answer:
Cupping o r scalloped wear high-low dips across the tread usually occurs due to:

Worn shock absorbers o r struts: Tyres bounce excessively, causing uneven contact with the road.

Tyre imbalance: Unbalanced wheels create vibration that wears the tread unevenly.

Loose suspension parts: Bushings, ball joints, o r mounts that allow movement lead to irregular pressure.

Fix:

Replace worn shocks o r struts.

Perform wheel balancing for all tyres.

Inspect and repair suspension components.

Maintain proper tyre pressure.
