Default Front driver tire cuping anyone else?

My front driver tire is cuping badly. But the other tires are fine and the alignment seems to drive straight. I have the potenza on with 15K. Anyone else experience this?

I was going to rotate from side to side to get little more wear before i have to buy new tires.

same thing happened to mine and i replaced the fronts at 15k, despite 3 alignments at lexus. i have found that my tire shop did a much better job at aligning the tires for longer tread life...

sound like a toe problem, you should have it rechecked.
