Sorry, I must have missed the point of this post.
Is there supposed to be anything in common with the different trashed tires - other than that they were trashed?

the hoosiers look like they are over pressured.
the chunking is just a crappy tire and and or a rough road service or hard driving with a pushy car.
(and any car can push, as the driver has to be aware of not pushing the the front tires well past their optimal slip point) Not sayning thats what happens, a push will create some weird wear patterns.
the build up on the hoosiers woud point to them being either a rear tire, or a front tire with too much pressure , as the tire is not rolling over to take adantage of the entire tire surface in turns.
optimally, only the rears will do this on the inside edge last 1". the fronts should never wear like this on a race tire.
