For the flying 10s: Are the tires wearing evenly? Any uneven wear on the outboard edges of the mains? Trying to get some idea whether the toein for the 10 is properly set by the factory legs and pilot holes.

Because of the tilt (camber?) that the main gear assumes in flight, the outboard portion of the tire always contacts the runway first on touchdown and spin up. This characteristic of wearing the outboard portion of main tires is common to all RVs.
More tire life can be had by rotating or "flipping" the tires on the rim once or twice during the life of the tire.

Or landing it “firmly” enough that it compresses the gear and uses all the tire.

Ahhh, so the REAL reason for my tire wear is revealed...I simply LAND
TOO NICELY. 
I haven't finished the writeup yet, but here are the photos of the
tire wear for anyone interested. This is my "bad" tire, by the
way. The other side isn't nearly as bad.

Bob, I'll have to try pancaking it in and see if that gives me better
tire life. <G> LOL!
