Isn't this situation going to be dangerous a few miles down the road?
Your excellent photos show the same thing beginning to happen on the outboard edge of this tire as well. Are any other tires wearing the same way?
Maybe I'm ignorant, but I'd be jumping up and down at the mfr of this tire, wanting to know what it is about the tread compound that's causing it to behave like hard candy under a hammer.

I take it you never been to an autox or track day eh?
3 problems that made it like that.
Too much camber and toe in are one. The second is daily driving. Also that tire is pretty much down to the ware bars. Third, heat.
Having all those three in the mix combine with some "sporty" driving habits equals that.
