Quetion on tire tread wear.
I use Yoko ES100's on my 911Turbo Look, and I was curious when does one get new front tires? Mine look decent, still have visible goves on the inner tire side, however it's quite obvious the difference vs the outside tire tread. Only way I could discribe it is the inside looks like it has 10-15% of life left, the outside looks like it has 60-75% left. Is this common for a car that get's tracked 4-5 times a year with about 12K-15K miles on the tires?

You can smoke a set of tires in one event. Sounds like these tires a past due...time for new shoes.
Your uneven wear pattern is likely due to the negative camber you're running.

Keep in mind these are street tires, not R compound so I should expect to get 2 more track days out of them right?
I agree the wear issue is from the negative camber, I guess my question is in regards to the huge difference, I was expecting maybe a 40/60 ratio not 20/80

It sounds normal to me, 12 - 15K miles on them - you have no problem!
