Anyone have odd wear issues with stock RE050As? Cupping?

My road noise has increased to ridiculous levels and the dealer says it's cupping.

However, what is causing it? 90% of my driving is back and forth from work and I never track/race. My alignment is perfectly in spec.

So what would cause my tires with just 15000 miles on them to be so badly cupped? (problem gets worse every passing day)
 
I had the same issue but mostly on the drivers side to tires. rotate the worst to the rear. Check your cross camber in the front if it is .5 degrees or greater it will cause cupping and pulling issues even if the it is within spec. What i did was put the car on the lift and loosen the four cross member bolts and shifter the the cross member as far to the left as possible and retightened the bolts while holding it. When I did this I rechecked the alignment and found that I had evened up the camber left to right and my cross camber was now 0
