for Jim - track day and tires



 >>> But I did have an interesting wear pattern: at the very edge of
       the rear tyre (both sides) there was a thin wavy line of
torn-up
       rubber - the tyres were worn right to the edge and then there
was 
       this extra wear in a wavy line at most 3mm wide all the way
       around the edge of the tyre.  Any ideas? <<<

    I develped the exact same pattern, which I described as
'feathering' on my rear tire (Dunlop 205). I consulted my local
dealer who has extensive experience as a racing (winning!) crew chief
and tech, who looked at it and pronounced it 'normal'. Mumbled
something about that's what happens when the tire grips instead of
slides. Told me the 'feathering' was something I could easily control
with the throttle.

                           Have fun,... sounds like you already did;
