Every F-450 I have ever heard of, including mine, has this problem. My Stock continentals not only cupped but they started throwing the lugs off at about 5,000 miles. I've tried Yokohama and now Coopers all with the same cupping. I do have about 30,000 miles on the coopers now and there almost half way worn down. I balance the wheels and run ceramic balancers on all 4 corners. The only way I found to get them to last is buy doing a 6 tire rotation about every 5-7000 miles.

Wear on the duallies was not as much as wear on the front. New plan it run this until cupped tires smooths out and rotate, then when the first tires reach wear bars go for all new. Expensive plan, but a lot rides on my truck, like my whole life, so I will spend an extra buck to keep things optimal.
I figure I have 6-9 months before I have to do something with the tires. I have found the 19.5's and F450 to be a bit of odd duck. There aren't many options for 19.5 tires, and the F450 is too big and heavy for conventional tire stores and too small for heavy duty truck repair facilities, but, you can find some HD truck facilities and some conventional stores that can work on them, it's just not the norm. You just have to check.Dallas

The Ford dealership and a local general tires dealership were able to get the Coopers for me. I like the Coopers more than the Yokohamas, and I did have the hancocks, they had the same issue of very fast wearing and cupping. The Coopers seem to be the best tires and there actually a heavier duty tire than the HD3 or the other tires. And they come in an aggressive tread designed for dirt and sand and better priced then Goodyear.
