I parked my toad in my dusty garage a couple of weeks ago and the dust showed up some cupping-type of wear on the inside edges of the front tires.

What could be causing that type of wear?

Frankly I wouldn't worry about it. Cupping has been around for as long as I remember and has never been fully explained. For some reason, towing aggravates the situation and most alignment fixes don't fix it. In your case the cause appears to be sawdust Smile
