Default excessive left rear inner tire wear

I just replaced the rear tires on my 02 996 c2. I had stock alignment settings and the left rear inner tire corded early (right rear still had at least 4-5 more track days left on tread) . Tires are Toyo R888's. Most tracks I drive on are predominantly right turns (Road America, blackhawk, Joliet Autobahn).

Is this normal, or should I be adjusting camber and toe settings differently on the left rear, due to the track orientations being mostly heavy right orientation? If so, what are the recommended settings?

Cool

Left rear tire... driver is on the left side... mostly right hand turns on your tracks... weight transfer is greatest on the left side...
