back tire cupping out on left side has around 5000 mile on it. any ideas on what could cause this.

yep. most likely it is caused by the contour of the road.

If you ride on rounded top roads all the time tires have a tendency to cup on the left side. Mine do it all the time no matter what pressure I use in them. I just ride them until they are toast and get a new set. When I lived out in Arizona for a time on the nice flat roads there my tires always wore evenly. Now I am back in PA with a lot of rounded top black topped roads they cup on the left again. More on the back tire then the front one too.
