Yes sir! Sometimes I change my alignment during the race! The last time that happened I had 45 degrees of positive camber!

To the OP: The tread pattern is directional, not the rubber nor the carcass (very few exceptions to this). So long as the track is dry (no standing water needs to be displaced) then you can run them in whatever direction you please and considering your wear, you should consider this. Just rotate them back on your drive home... in case it rains.

If, for some reason you're weird about tread direction, then you can rotate the tire on the wheel before rotating the wheels, but unless you own a tire machine, this gets pricey.

OP should do this.

But in the picture where you're holding the level...

I hope the level was just for purposes of illustration but yeah weird wear patterns can show up when a tire is under or over inflated. The Toyo R888 was famous for it's "groove of death" that looked similar to this albeit much more pronounced.

However, I don't think that's what's happening here. It looks like you just have accentuated wear on one side which is to be expected and the "groove" is more of a factor of the tread squirm under cornering loads.

32 hot is probably on the low side while 35 cold would put on the high side. Aim for 35-40 hot.

Another option: have a friend ready with one of these right as you come off track and check inside/middle/outside temps.
