Tuning & Tyre Temperatures

Hi All,
I was playing with the tuning on the Audi R8 LMS GT3 yesterday and I noticed that the inner shoulder temps on the tyres were always hotter than the outside.

My assumption is that ideally (IRL) the temps should be even across the tyre? Anyone know if this is correct or not?

Also I assumed the outer shoulder would (IRL) tend to get hottest (without setting up to avoid it)

Finally I couldn't seem to get the heat profile across the tyre to change no matter how much I played with the camber & toe angles.

I'm not even sure whether camber or toe or both would influence this and which may or may not influence it more.

Can anyone give me any pointers?

As you said yourself, negative camber settings result in higher temperature in the inner of the tire - because only the inner part of the tire comes in direct contact with the asphalt most of the time, aka when going in the long straights.
