I think you'd get better response in the Ranger section, immediately above the Escape section.
That said, you may need to get some 'camber adjustment' shims installed. Camber is the tilt of the wheel & tire inwards or outwards, and can cause wear on the edges of the tires.
Take it to an alignment shop or tire store and have them check the alignment. You are way over factory recommended size, and the shop may not be able to adjust the control arms to overcome excessive camber. The wider the 'stance', the more leverage the tire gets in moving the control arms. If (?) you have it raised, you may be adding to the problem.
