I don’t have any pics yet, however despite the spherical bushings and rechecking/redoing my alignment to make sure I had toe in (the alignment had moved back to toe out sometime over the course of my previous two track days) my front tires corded on the insides at some point during my third tracking day.

I say at some point, because despite believing the insides were not cording (because When I looked under the car there were still tread lines/grooves towards the insides of the tire where as the towards outsides the tread lines/grooves had disappeared and turned into a slick, So I assumed, wrongly, that if the outsides had not corded yet then the insides could not have either).

I don’t know when the cording happened because I only found out after At the end of the track day once I had the car up on the hoist and saw how badly the Insides had corded with out me even noticing... it’s the last time I make that mistake again, I will definitely be taking better care to check

I did the same thing! Didn't see it until I took the wheels off for inspection.

Front left after 2.5ish track days (this tires was on the passenger side rear for 1 track day after the dealership put a 285 on an 11" wheel and a 305 on a 10" wheel)

Alright, so we're in the same (tire expensive) ballpark. Just got another alignment today and was not far off from track spec, even after hitting a few curbs at MSRH. So the wear looks to be normal and not from knocking the alignment in to high toe out.
