LOL guys. I had my bro-in-law put in on a lift and inspected the crap out of it.
Conclusion: He thinks it has something to do with either a crap tire or I hit something mean on the road. He told me the camber/toe is barely noticeable so it definitely couldn't be that. He also couldn't find any wear on any of my suspension components. So basically he said the tire is usable, but better safe than sorry...replace it.

That tire damage is not from any misalignment. Maybe you picked up some trash that got hooked up in there but fell out later. When you inspected it, did you use a lift that kept the car on it's tires or one that lifted by the body, leaving the wheels hanging? I'd go for a lift with it on the tires (like an alignment lift) to make sure there's no bent bracket in the way.

That looks more like the tread patch band is separating from the rest of the tire carcase. OTR trucks w/ bad recaps will look similar to that sometimes. Also quite possible your toed-out more than needed and that is causing drag on the inside portion of the tire.
Just my 2 cents.

mmmmm. IMO i think you got a bad tire, and the road conditions didn't help.. I would call your tire company to see if they can help. maybe they had a bad batch.
