It's hard to say without being there to inspect all the tires and knowing all the details, but it does appear to be overinflation wear from those pictures. It would help if you had a tread depth gauge to measure.
How many miles total are on these tires and at what mileage intervals did you rotate them?

They only thing I've seen that wears tires that quickly with normal driving is toe.
Have your alignment checked by someone else. I had my car aligned at Mitsu once and the dumbass that was doing it never bothered to look up the specs. He tried setting all the cambers to 0 so in his words "You would get nice even tire wear". The problem with that is to get the rear camber to 0 it puts a sh*t load of toe out into the them which, will definitely eat up tires. Most of these guys get so hung up on camber they don't pay that much attention to toe.
If that's because of over inflation and only over inflation I will be amazed.
