Hawk, more info needed.
Is it one position on a specific aircraft?
One position on all aircraft?
Or, just a general question on tire wear?
And, is it really shoulder wear, or is it edge wear?

What kind of tire... tube-in-tire or tubeless... bias ply or radial?
Also... all major aircraft tire manufacturers' have what ammounts to an 'aircraft tire care and maintenance manual'... I have several: Dunlop, Goodyear and Michelin... available on the company websites.
Also... good stuff...
FAA AC20-97B Aircraft Tire Maintenance and Operational Practice http://www.faa.gov
RMA Aircraft Tire Information Service Bulletin http://www.rma.org
and if you can find a copy...
USAF T.O. 4T-1-3 INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS, STORAGE, AND DISPOSITION OF AIRCRAFT TIRES AND INNER TUBES

Re: Main Wheel Tire Shoulder wear - but on one side only
If it's edge wear, on one side of the tire (the "shoulder" tread if you will), I'm thinking it's a torque-link shimming problem. This would put the tire out of alignment making it wear with an uneven pattern. An imbalance will usually result in a shimmy of some sort.

Assuming that it’s at least a 2 wheel bogie, you’d expect the abnormal wear on both all the wheels on that bogie.

Shoulder wear on a MWA, but can vary on any Aircraft and Any wheel.... so its Wheel specific not axle specific
This is B757-200PCF

However its not Axle specific but MWA specific

Agreed.
This is random one wheel in a Bogie
