Then you don't have a 'cupping' issue

Last picture is of 'feathering' from braking

Or in your case, alignment and/or inflation pressure is too low for your conditions (road, driving style, loading, etc).

You need to have a 'good' tire shop or alignment shop take a look at your setup.

Most likely not alignment, but tire pressure too low and braking hard.

Here are some links to info/HOW2 sites from a quick www.clusty.com search. Can also see that my favorite 2 seater/badge corners on the extreme edge, as many of these sites come from the Nissan 350Z/G35.
