I wore the edges on my c5,thought I would have my c6 checked. Glad I did. I would recommend after 2-3000 mile check. Tires cost way too much. The alignment was out pretty far out and the wheel was not centered from day one. Also it drives much better.

I posted a thread about this the other day. My steering wheel was also a bit off from the factory. Got the dealership to align it under warranty, and it was pretty far out of spec.

Drives like a completely different car.
