Searched and found this.

I am remounting my summer GY EMT's on my base 2012 tomorrow. The inside is more worn than the outside on the fronts. I guess I need to push it in the corners a little more

I'll ask to have them swapped to have a longer life out of them.

My rear tires are very evenly worn and have almost twice the usable tread than the fronts. Is this normal for the C6? I'll copy this into the C6 forum too.

It could be that the first owner was hard on the rears and replaced them before 23k and I bought the car with 23k.

Maybe I'll do a couple track days and some deliberate burn outs in a safe place of course

I am pulling off my Michelin PS A/S 3's and intend to use up the last of these GY's before throwing them out at the end of the summer. Next year I'll buy something else.

I got TIRED reading this thread. It seemed to roll on forever, first going one direction, then the other, sometimes going in the wrong direction all together. Some people on one side and some on the other, others quite understandably taking both sides.
