Either you have excessive camber, or you're not taking corners fast enough. :D

Yep, when the insides wear faster, it is usually due to too much negative camber.

Inside edge wear is too much negative camber, or not cornering fast enough.

Cupping is out of balance or loose or worn bearings, or weak shock.

Looks like waves going accross the tread, uneven surface. You can usually see the effect better on slick tires.
