The axis the knuckle pivots on is tilted back, (positive caster). That makes the tire lean when turned as shown in your picture.
It's completely normal.

Okay cool thanks. I had never actually noticed this before so I was like WTF? Lol. I knew that the tires should normally be slightly angled because of the knuckles. Just never seen this dramatic of an effect. Must be the larger tires. Just double checking. Thanks!

Not normal! In fact it's completely dangerous! Extremely deadly and a danger to the entire earth! And I'm sure you wouldn't try selling such a dangerous death trap. And because I always try to help others...I will take this killing machine off your hands and we will never speak of this again. K????????
