If there is nothing wrong with the front end, simply driving highway speed on predominately curvy roads (your location is the CA coast, not too many straight roads there) will feather front and rear tires pretty quickly.
Learnt that when we lived in the mountains. Almost couldn't rotate truck tires fast enough to prevent it, when the daily drive was 60-70 mph through the mountains.
Yes cupping is different (1 tread high, next one worn lower) and can/is an indicator of shocks or other front end issues. But where you drive, type of tire and load contribute to both.
That's why heavy vehicle steer tires typically have closed shoulder treads. A heavy pickup running AT or MT tires is just trying to chew the front tires up. Just how it be.
