Default Front tire cupping

The front tire tread on My Continentals is cupping on the inside only. I realize that after 21,000 miles, an alignment is not unreasonable, But if these tires are directional and an alignment is performed, how do I rotate the tires to even out the wear? Any one else out there have this problem?

Which Continentals do you have? The ContiTouring Contact all season tires are not directional and can be rotated side to side. I'm not sure about the ContiSport Contact summer tires. I have the AS Continentals and rotated them at 10K. I'm now at 15K and haven't had any problems with uneven wear.

Thanks for responding,

They are the all season radial tires. After starting this thread, I contacted a tire dealer and they confirmed that the tires on my car are not directional. Guess the Chrysler dealer has to bone up a little more on Crossfires.
