Shocks did not fail. I didn't like the soft ride so put Bilstein HDs on the rear. The car had original struts on the front when it left me with 212,500 miles. The tire wear only happened when I used plus zero (225-50-16), directional tires. I liked the additional grip and since the wear was increased anyway accepted the risk. When I returned to using OEM type tires of the proper size, the tire wear problem went away. So from that I am assuming that the car was properly engineered for 215-55-16 tires and when the size increase, the problems start occurring.
