runway surfaces and tire wear.

Our airport has a new 5600' concrete runway and it proving to be very hard on tires. It doesnt take long to spot a landing gear allignment problem. I woundering how (if possible) the gear on a cessna 206 or 182 can be realligned and re-cambered to stop the premature destruction of tires on this very coarse surface. Also have a Warrior thats doing this too.
Seems the wear always occurs on the outside of the tire. Ive never heard anything about it or anyone doing this and havent seen anything in the manuals on changing this. I would assume its done with shims if it can be done.
