Maybe in full turn the steering geometry on that truck causes that side to scrub a bit more than the other. I’ve seen that plenty of times. Rotate side to side to meep them a little more even.
Drivers steer wearing out faster than passengers

Another reason can be torque stress. Measure front frame to ground clearance on both sides. Usually no big deal but will eat tires on one side a bit faster

If the tires themselves are wearing even across the tread with no odd patterns and you’re getting reasonable life (100k miles) out of them, I wouldn’t worry about it. That said you should only be putting quality names up front. Michelin, Bridgestone, and to a lesser extent, Goodyear all make good steer tires.
