Unusual? tire wear
I have a 2007 GT with stock springs, 1.8 negative camber, and 36 psi hot.
After my last track day at TWS Clockwise, this is what my left front tire looks weird.
What possible alignment or tire pressure setting could possibly wear that second groove like that?
(I give up, I can't link or attach or whatever, so I started a new thread here)

Have you tried uploading it as a thumbnail? There are filesize restrictions, and you will get a big red "X". However, clicking on the "X" will bring up the pic.

This sort of wear was fairly common I think with the early belted-bias tires, particularly in the (for then) low profiles.

Second-rib Wear
Second-rib wear is normally found only in radial tires, and appears where the steel belts end in relation to the tread. Normally, it can be kept to a minimum by paying careful attention to tire pressure and frequently rotating the tires. Some car and tire manufacturers consider a slight amount of wear at the second rib of a radial tire normal, but that excessive amounts of wear indicate that the tires are too wide for the wheels. Be careful when having oversize tires installed on narrow wheels.
