I see a very slight cold tear which is an indication that your tire was slightly over inflated. Hot tear is the opposite. I also see raised 'back' edges on the treads. Your shock rebound is incorrectly set (too fast) (or dead toasted). When the leading edges are raised it would be an indication that rebound is set too slow.

(we learn how to read tires in the pits when bored, really bored Jay)

I will put you in touch with my mates at Ohlins in Sweden. Please prepare $3,800 per wheel. This will save your tires on your upcoming and future track days

ps: I'd trade some tires regardless for a good track day, any days. Crappy Porsche suspension or not! Let's do this lolll
