Default uneven drag radial wear

I have 275/40 20 Mickey thompson ET street SS radials on my truck mounted on snowflake reproduction rims. Today I noticed the driver side tire has extreme wear on the inside of the tire and the passenger tire has extreme wear on the outside of the tire. anyone see this before? is the suspension hitting hard enough to force the passenger side down and cause both tires to ride on the edges? these were on about 18-20 psi

Is the uneven wear riding up the side wall or just on the contact patch? Does the rest of the contact patch have feathering? Could be more of an alignment or tracbar issue.

Are these track only tires or used for daily driving as well?

It appears to making full contact. I went to take pics of the tires and the exposed area has full tread across which leads me to believe there isca small section on each tire in the same location worn past the wear lines
