certain tire wear that is referred to as cupping can be caused by an out of balance tire or wheel or a bent rim a loose or worn tie rod or idler arm or worn front suspension parts. i would start by checking these things first since the vehicle was involved in a wreck. if all these things are in good condition have a front end alignment
