My advice would be to buy new tires and don't do anymore burnouts.

#28380: Service Update - Rear Suspension Toe Link Cracking - (May 10, 2016)

This service update included vehicles in dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the dealership for any reason. This bulletin will expire at the end of the involved vehicle’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty period.

Condition- This bulletin provides a service procedure to inspect for two Julian dates, inspect for cracks and replace if needed the rear toe links on certain 2016 model year Chevrolet Camaro vehicles. These vehicles may have been built with rear suspension toe links that have small cracks in the area of the pressed-in end bushings or cross axis ball joints. The cracks were formed during the manufacturing process of the toe links, and there have been no failures in the field.

Correction- Dealers are to inspect vehicle toe links with 2 specific Julian dates of manufacture. Inspect the toe links for cracks. Replace the bolts with new bolts when any toe links are removed from the vehicle. Replace any cracked toe links that are found. Re-align any vehicles which require the toe link to be replaced. Re-use the original washer and nut fasteners.

Locate the Julian date code stamping on the forward face of the toe link stamping. This will be a three digit number followed by a space and “15”.
◦If the date code is 303 15 or 340 15, the part requires inspection. Proceed to the inspecting the toe link section below.
◦If a code other than 303 or 340 is present, that part does not require inspection. No further action is required.

Yeah, no doubt I would have too! This became apparent AFTER the roadtrip

6000 road trip with overloaded trunk/backseat would also contribute.

Thats the price you pay with performance suspension geometry. Looks like the last 5 or so sets I pulled off my 3-series BMWs which usually go 20K. Try to align with a full tank of gas and some extra weight in the car for what its worth, and request as little negative camber as possible within specs.

Don't think it's related. Looks like normal wear to me. 11,000 miles is quite a few miles for these performance tires. I know mine are sticky and soft, I've already noticed wear at only 1,300 miles. Should see how the front tires wear on C5 corvettes.

I, and every other Camaro owner that hangs clothes in their cars, need a solution.

These cars are tied down on the trailers when they are brought in. The dealer does not check the alignment after they arrive. Its up to the customer to watch for tire wear and not the dealer. Obviously you can't rotate the tires since they are staggered and if your doing burnouts its not helping either. Tires are like oil, you better be checking them often especially when you have a tire that's going to only get about 20k at the most on the rear. I'd advise everyone to get an alignment check soon after you purchase your car. I promise you its not in alignment after it arrives at the dealer. Most shops will check it for free and a normal alignment is under 100 bucks. Check the price on these run flats and I think you'll find its a cheap investment.

That was my thought as well. What's the issue?
