- Looks like camber wear to me (too much or too little depending if it is the inner or outer edge)
- front or rears? Inner or outer edge?

I got 6-7000 miles on my PS2, with track alignment. (-2.2 front, similar rear). Wearing fine. No issues like the above.

I haven't tracked the PS2s though. I switch to MPSC for track.

looks like 100% of my rear tires over the last 8 years the day before I replace them.

@997gt3north: you're absolutely right, this type of wear is due to the camber settings, but my previous OEM Pirellis PZero Corsa System never appeared this way although I were running the same set up. Again, PS2 are completely incompatible for GT3s at least when the car is used according to what was designed to be.
@sws1: FYI my settings of the rear axle were {Camber, Toe} for both wheels {-2 28', 0 14'}. PS2s wear is getting worse when the GT3 is in the hands' of track-attackers.
@roberga: Couldn't agree more...+1 buddy

I now have the corsa system and they are a spectacular tire. I think they will wear fast as it has a 60 rating but they work in the rain are fine on the street and very good on a dry circuit. I am still feeling them out on high g corners as most of my track time has been on Hoosiers.
I put 90 heat cycles on my Corsa's they just would not die. they finally corded in the middle of the tire from chunking. Its expensive, sticky and durable.
