When did you last have the wheels aligned?

Can you explain how minor changes in caster and camber, might
eliminate cupping?

The caster and camber adjustments may not help, but they might know, or
find out, what is causing the cupping.
Probably better than we here could answer without having the car at hand.

I've never had tyre cupping on my Nissan Pulsar (the Australian
name for your Sentra). But I did have severe cupping on my other
vehicle (a VW Transporter).
Right from new, it developed severe cupping and chunking on the
nearside rear tyre only. The Transporter is also front-drive.
Rotating the tyres saw the problem always reappear at that
position.
That was 15 years ago. The vehicle is still in use, and I've had
no problems since the original tyres (Kleber brand) were
replaced. The vehicle has never had or needed a wheel alignment.
