Could be caused by out of spec toe alignment. Is this affecting all 4 tires?

First tell us what your Mazda dealership told you.

I would expect the dealer to say that a set of tires cost $1,000.

We have a 2018 CX-5 (Grand Touring) which is the same generation as yours, and our tires did not cup. Have you been rotating them regularly (every oil change?) What’s done is done. An alignment and new tires are in your future. We love our Michelin CrossClimate2 tires. Better in every way than the ones the vehicle came with.

Cupped tires are usually caused by worn out struts/shocks.

2 days and the person has not posted any real information . All tires cupped , tires rotated , what was said by dealer or a good tire shop or even if the tire pressure was even maintained ?
