I own a 2004 Ford sport trac XLT with goodyear wrangler rt/s tires (m+s p255/70r16). I have the tires rotated every 3 to 5 thousand miles. Problem is the tires keep cupping out, which creates a less safe driving environment and causes excessive road noise. I've been told by the local tire store that this is a systemic problem with the vehicle and buying new tires will not correct it. How should I proceed to have this issue corrected? note, the wheels are within alignment specifications. Please advise. . . Thanks.

While driving 70 km a cross wind blew the rear of the truck causing the vehicle to hit a guardrail. Another time the consumer was driving 55 km with the 4wd on when the consumer lost control an hit a guardrail on the passenger side. When the passenger side wheel grabbed the slush about 1 inch thick, the consumer released off of the accelerator, slightly corrected the steering to bring the vehicle back but the vehicle kept going to the right, hit three posts and then came back.
