Mine are not center cupping... its happening on the inner half - starting from the inner shoulder and goes about 2 inches towards the center. The Primacys that were replaced had no abnormal wear so my first thought was improper balancing or wrong pressure. But I've double and tripled checked everything with the tires.

There's some damage or it could be simple tire imbalance (but if it was that bad, you'd feel it). It could be a blown damper, but there's other things it could be too. Get it up on a rack and check out the front suspension.

Yeah, I have no reason to believe I'm out of alignment. Previous tires wore normally and the car isn't lowered. Not saying it's impossible that I need an alignment, I just think it's more likely that I have an issue with the damper or some other suspension component. Just wasn't really sure exactly what to look for.
