Ok so I bought the Khumos too from what I read here. I like them ( not as much as my Yoko's and Sumitomo'o but OK for performance.
But I did notice severe cupping after 5K miles right when I usually rotate. Kinda odd. I was talking with a guy nearby who has them on his Aero and same thing. Off hand we were sitting with a guy at Carlisle at lunch complaining about the tiers and he chimed in with the same problem on his Kuhmo's . Coincidence?? I am not sure. I realize that with our car's negative camber that they can be prone but I have three sets on my car rotated religiously at 5k miles and wore flat to the wear bars.
The dealer who rotated the tires has said they have seen this with lots of Khumo’s, since they have a very aggressive tread design ( the tech’s words) . I had my car aligned and they told me it was barely out, about a single degree.
BTW all new suspension 40 K miles ago in case you think it would be caused by sagging.
Just my .02
