i was told once that to have that 'blueish' tint on worked out outer edge is a sign of severely overdriven tires - so more camber or stiffer springs are required?
it looks very similar to set of hoosiers a6 i have ruined when my car had stock suspension, same way edges got corded while most of contact path still had plenty of life in them, 50%+. my mechanic told me - it happens typically when you push car into corner too aggressively on soft springs and edges start burning.

I've gotten the blue tint on every RA1 and NT01 that I've owned. It appears where the tread would probably be the hottest (outside edge), but I do not think it is indicative of a problem. I'm happy with my camber settings and spring rates, and my tire wear is pretty even across the tread; yet I still have the blue streak. And the tires keep getting better.
it`s just from what i think - i am not sure if contact should ever extend that high on an edge. or should it?
