check your tire pressures.
Then, make sure they "match" the camber and caster between each side. Most shops seem to want to add more to one side to allow for the crown of the road. I'd not let them do this. I'd also consider adding a little negative camber (-.5 degrees camber).

Find a place that has a good, late model, computerized alignment machine. I went to a local Firestone shop. I would have them set the toe to zero. A little toe in gives the steering a dead zone in the middle, a little toe out might lead to increased wear, maybe.
On my 275 front's I run -1* camber and it seems to wear the tires perfectly across. Back when I had the camber at 0, the outside edges wore first. I would also recommend having someone sit in the drivers seat to load that that side while it's being aligned. It might not be necessary, but next time I will do that. Or bring some ballast with me to the alignment place.
