GTAs do get quite a lot of toe change toward toe out in the rear, as they go through their suspension movement. If set up with toe out in the rear initially, it can tend to make the car unstable at high speed, although a lot of dirt rally cars are set this way to make them slide easier for corners.

My A610 had full tread on the outside of the tyre when bought and I didn't bother looking too closely once I got it.
After 1500 miles I had a couple of "rear slide" moments in the wet and decided to have a look- guess what, no tread in the centre and inward half of the tyre. I was embarrassed when the tyre shop changed them - the tread in the centre was bald. Not quite like yours- the inside edge was OK.
I'm (still) running Pzeros- but tyre wear does seem to be high at the back, fronts don't seem too bad.
I've been planning a 4 wheel alignment check; I've even bought some shims from Stephen but not got to it yet.
Tell us all what you find!
Cheers
