The car got an alignment last year and the shocks were replaced the year before. Nonetheless, it pulls pretty hard to the right. If you take your hands off for 2 or 3 seconds, you are in the other lane. No bearing noise to report. Tire shop said they put the two fronts which show the cupping on a balancing machine and said they are fine. Only problem I see with the car is the alignment. Car has 114k miles with the last three years on inner-city roads. Tires have about 10k on them.

The wear definitely looks like cupping. Can an alignment cause cupping? If cupping really is limited to worn suspension, and her suspension is fine, I have to write it off as bad tires. Which isn't really a bad thing, I suppose, since that means nothing is wrong with the car.
