Still, I doubt that's what's supposed to happen even under extreme conditions. Did you call Michelin's customer service number?

For what it's worth, there are R-compound tires out there that will do that too if you don't shave them and run them at race pace.
Agree, just being at factory camber settings should not result in wear anything like this for less than one track day. Seems to me like a failure (ironically) with the "endurance" rubber compound on the outer edge. Would be interesting to see details of how this bi-compound structure is manufactured.
