what you mean they wear like a roler coaster?

those are quite the large tires but that should cause uneven wear.

are the tires properly mounted/ rims not bent i hope.

they balanced and the back end aligned?

sounds like possible bad wheel bearing, trying putting on new tires of a smaller size and see how it goes, if it stops the wear, theres a issue with the tires. if not its not in the tires.
