I don't know guys we might have a closet oval racer here; the Datax avatar does show him only turning LEFT :>) This could explain the wear on one side of the car only. I think an avatar change showing a right turn would help alleviate any doubt...

sit in the passenger seat and drive from that side. that should wear your tires more evenly.!!

Different tires requires different alignment.
So if you change between street and track tires, a wear on the inside is typical on the street tire.
Excessive wear on the inside can be an alignment issue, but also driver error. It's typical for applying the gas too late on corner exit.

My right rear was down on tread about 20% from the left but it was even all across the tire. Took it in for an algiment and the toe on that right rear was way off. I don't know about the 6/3 but the 7/3 the rear toe links suck. I am getting the adjustable toe links with locking plates before the first event this year.
