Unless you are running a tandem axle, turning with a single axle would not cause that kind of wear.
That picture is a tire that I would say is out of balance...bumping up and down the road and probably a tad side to side, which would cause the wear in the picture. Combine that with The negative camber (thanks shep...couldn't remember which camber it was) and you have a recipe for bad tire wear. The out of balance situation causes the bouncing, and the negative camber causes the wear at an angle. As the tire bounces, the contact patch changes from the edge to the center, thus the diagonal wear.
Alignment and balance and you should be good.
