both side on my inner front tires (INNER MOST 1 INCH or so) were wearing really fast compared to other areas of my tire it almost looked real weird. almost like the inner was a valley and the rest of tire was a plateau



anyone else has that happen on their Z?

looks like time to get an aliignment


here are some pics

same wear on each driver and passenger side

How much camber are you running on the front ?? Mine are in the same shape except the whole inner tread block is worn down. I run 1.5 deg negative in front as a street track compromise. Your situation could also be a bad toe setting ----- count on getting front tires shortly - you will be in the cords within a few miles.

i have not changed any settings at all. i will have to get alignment check done, what are reccomended street/track compromise?

The settings will really depend on what type of driving ( how much street - how much track) you do. Check out the Tire Rack and Phoenix performance web sites for recommended settings. Also do a search here and in the tire section - lots of good info.

Thats not camber, thats toe out. Get it aligned.

Stock C5 Z06 specs (not the same as stock C5) are a pretty good street/autox/track compromise.

HTH, and have a good one,

I asked for the 1.0 front camber sinec that is what allanlaw recc. for street driving along with track

Mine and many others have worn the same way. It is normal for the alignment to be out of factory spec. I had mine aligned and it solved the problem.

looks like too much toe "out" to me.
