The first of fords XR3's had the same problem, they were set up by fords for handing and grip at the expense of the rubber.
Check your tracking set point and try a new setting of 0 this solved the issue with the XR's
failing that it sounds like a caster/camber setting issue, again it might be set like this on purpose robbing peter to pay paul i.e. wear the tyres for the sake of handling.
try a straight edge on the rim vertical through the centre and put a small 12 inch spirit level on the straight edge . The top of the wheel should not be out futher than the bottom, if it is it will wear the outer edge, if it is futher in (by a lot) it will wear the inner egde.
good luck
