Tire Wear Question
Outside treads of front tires feel rough to the touch...inside treads feel smooth.
Looks to me like they're wearing evenly. 17k miles on them. Not sure if you can tell from pic's (outside treads are right side of pic's). Any thoughts??

You probably need a slight alignment...

Uh..what would make you think that?!
I've heard that alignment settings on the ZO6 are set with negative camber...designed for hard cornering...& if you do most of your driving on highway you'll actually wear insides of treads.

Both of my 02Z's have worn the tires much worse than this. I had the alignment fixed to prevent this on the next set on my first Z. My second Z is now ready for front tires and will be aligned soon after the new tires are installed.
