Dave -- 

What everyone else said, take it to heart.

But even then, you are probably still going to get excess wear on the outside
edges. This is just a factor that we are trying to do 10/10ths corners when,
the same corner on the street, you'd probably be doing 3/10ths or so (which
wears out tires a lot less). 

So, keep your eye on your wear bars. Maybe even invest in a tire depth gauge.
And when the wear *begins* to get a bit uneven from inside edge to outside
edge -- take and have the tires turned around on the rims. Assuming, of course,
you are not on unidirectional tires.
