Tire wear and causes wisdom needed
I've searched a lot on here yesterday and it seems I have one of a few problems...bent axle, bent spindle, bad suspension parts, bad wheel bearing, or a **** tire. Pretty much covers all the options....

my camping buddy had the exact same wear on two tires. When he started investigating, he found that the wheel bearings were extremely loose. He inspected, cleaned and repacked the bearings and put the proper torque on them. He put two new tires on, and 5000 miles later, there is no adverse wear.
If the bearings were run so loose that it affected tire wear they need to be replaced. There is no such thing as proper torque on a wheel bearing, they are adjusted with a small amount of clearance.
