I check my tire pressure religiously (once every 2 weeks, at least), as it happens - ever since I noticed the problem - about two years ago. I kinda just ignored it, as it wasn't a huge problem for me on the Michelin X-One's - but I'm very concerned with the much softer Blizzak tire compound.
When standing next to the tire, place your hand on the tire-tread and rub your hand across the tread, does it feel as though the tread has a knife edge to it?
Pulling toward you if you feel an edge to much toe-in, pushing away from you and you feel the edge to much toe-out.
I've also but rarely run into to much positive caster.
have your shop check your alignment values, all they have to do is install all 4 heads and scan it, this will show all the alignment angles.

I ran 245/50/16s on my front, and found the insides wore much quicker than the outsides. I got a 4 wheel alignment, but the edges still wore... I'd attribute that to putting on a tire that was much bigger than the stock 225/60/16s.
See about taking it to a suspension shop that deals with big trucks. They know their stuff.
