Fairly new driver. I was issued a truck at my new company and It has cupping on passenger side steer tires. I was told it’s an air pressure issue. It’s been addressed and it’s not that bad and the tire should “even out”.
I get dispatched on my first load and the truck is pulling to the right bad. I feel like I’m gonna have Popeyes arms driving this thing.
Just looking for some advice and I included some pictures. Thank you.

That looks like a trailer tire. And, that tire will NOT even out. Once they start wearing out like that, it just gets worse. They lied to you.

I'd say probably shocks, but I'd quit that company ASAP. If they'll let that fly, things are not good.

Don’t take chances or cut corners on steer tires. If one blows you better have a good grip on the wheel.

I've seen that a lot. My last company acted annoyed when you called them about this.

Michelin xze is an all position tire and kind of looks like what you have.
