Wrecked Z06 @ Rick Hendricks Chevy Charleston, SC
Don't have any info but with all the rain we've been having and the lack of tread on a Z06s tires, I gotta think it played a role in the accident. Right rear tire is completely askew.

Maybe if the tire had some tread......oh wait, that's a new tire.

My salesman there called me to let me know about this Z06. This happened a day or two after purchase (it could even had been the same day I can't remember exactly) and with less than 100 miles. The owner lost it in the rain at around 80mph and slammed the rear wheel into the curb. He was lucky not to flip it.
The cause? He had it in Track mode in the rain and with no experience behind the wheel of a Z06.
So they called me out of courtesy to tell me not to do that. I told them only an idiot would.

Well, to quote Ron White, "you can't fix stupid!"

I recall him talking about it in a tonight show interview with Leno. These cars with their performance tires will bite dimwits in the a$$.
