Cooler on the outside, where wear is clearly greater.

Car is a small saloon.
Does the air flow across the outer side of the tyre keep that cooler than would be expected?
Is temp testing only valid on open wheelers?

To me, wear is more telling evidence.
What do others think?

Could be cold tearing the outside of the tyre.
