No alignment issues, tires are balanced. What's going on here?

Continental logo has a front kicking horse, it's not actually a bronco logo.

How often do you rotate the tires, cause it really sounds like an alignment issue. Reliable or not, some service guys are to busy to care at times, saying alignment is fine gets you to pay the bill and go.

How frequently (miles) did you rotate your tires? I had a similar issue with a Honda CRV with rear tires. With that car the tires wore uneven because I was not carrying enough weight in the back to push down on the suspension. With more frequent rotations I did not end up with two tires worn more than the others. I am rotating tires now on our O.B. at each oil change, 5,000 miles.

OEM Michelins are crap. at 4/32 at 28700 kms....so what's that, barely over 20000 miles? Alignment all within spec. relatively even wear across the tread and some splitting happening in the tread too, Michelin Rep took em for evaluation. We shall see the verdict here.

Did you ever find out what caused the wear problem?
I also have a 21 badlands with excessive wear on the outside edge of both rear tires. I rotate my tires every oil change @ 5,000 miles. 23k on the car now
Thanks

Alignment is always a good place to start for uneven tire wear. Also realize OEM tires are not designed to last. They are not the same as you or I can buy even if they have the same name/model.
