Are your 06-09 tires Cupping?
As the title states, have any '06-'09 owners encountered this problem? In my case I'm almost positive it's due to a need of alignment since the cupping has only taken place on the front-passenger tire. I'm just intrigued to know if any 06-09 owners have had this as a reoccurring problem.
If there is a thread dedicated to 06-09 and cupping please excuse me and direct me, thank you.

In other words if your car never had a problem simply reply "no problem" if you have then reply "blah blah blah this suck"

As a warning and suggestion to ALL Z owners - the Z doesn't hold an alignment at all, especially toe settings. I get mine checked annually and every year it is toed-out, exactly the wrong setting that you want to have.

That suggests it's a balance or suspension problem on that wheel only. If the inner edge of both front tires was feathered (saw tooth wear) then I'd tend to agree with you have an alignment problem.
