Irregular tire wear

I'm having problems with the stock Wrangler A/T's that came on my 95 4x4.
They have developed a cupping type of wear pattern that you would see with
bad shocks or bad balancing.

I've kept them infated properly, rotated every 5k miles, balanced, and even
had it aligned at 12k miles. Now at 18k miles it looks like they are going
to bite the dust before 22-25K.

I've had the same problem with my last two vehicles..... maybe I drive too
fast? The average speed for my commute is 75-80 for 20 miles. Do I need to
get a better speed rated tire? Do they make truck tires that can handle
prolonged speed? (A round trip to Lake Tahoe put about 1,600 high speed
miles on them, a ski trip yesterday put on 350 miles)

Thanks, Dave
