[B]At 20k this is normal. In the future do not leave the tires un-rotated for such a long time. To even the wear you need to remove the tire from the wheel and flop them so when remounted they still roll in the correct direction, but the inner worn edge will now become the outer edge.

It seems the only way to keep the tire rolling in the same direction and make the outer wall into the inner wall is to remove the tire from the rim and move the tire to the other side of the car.

Is this what you mean by "Flop them" ?
