If you are still having problems with the tires wearing odd, you can also try taking shims out from under the camber links. That will increase negative camber as the supension compresses. This will generally create more grip too, so you will have to make other changes around the car to keep it from becoming too stuck.

If you have a lot of airgap in your tires the really weird wear on the inside of the tire can be hard to avoid. My tires still wear a little funny, but the car drive better with 2 deg of camber in my conditions.

Look to see if the contact patch is wearing even or is it still not coming into contact with the racing surface? If the wear is even then maybe you have to just live with the inner portion of the tire wearing like that. I can't remeber you saying if it was front or rears but 95% of the time it's the front showing the excessive wear. Is this the case??? You will be dialed by the time the KO race comes around

A warped rim, terrible glue job can all lead to different readings if a gauges is used while the tire's are still on. Just throwing some ideas your way. You may not have these issues but it is something to look out for.
