Default Am I overdriving and adding corner counting to the prep list.

Fresh tires, 2 days, slight config change the next day, new to me track, max oem camber at -0.65, definitely not -3 camber on this bone stock, base Boxster. Am I overdriving, under pressure, over pressure?

Twice as many rights as lefts on these cw configs, next track is 2 days with twice as many rights as well so swapping tires right to left, have to add corner counting to my todo list.

Not enough neg camber, for sure....
Sort that out and then analyze further if needed.

I was guilty of overdriving as a noob a few years ago on stock camber in a 718 Cayman S. I trashed my tires much worse and more quickly than you - I was cording and chunking the outsides after 2 track days. I started a thread here and learned about overdriving. I thought I was fast braking late and hard and turning in abruptly to every corner. Instruction, study and seat time improved that.

Obviously it's impossible to be sure over the Internet, but I think your driving is probably OK. This looks like a reasonable amount of wear for that much use given the lack of camber. Tarett camber plates and/or LCAs are a good place to start. They pay for themselves quickly in term of tire cost, plus you get the benefit of better turn-in.
