need help quick - neutral tire alignment specs needed
at the dealer now and forgot to bring the specs for a neutral tire alignment to prevent the wear on the inside of the tire.
oh, the car is z51, if that matters
any quick help is appreciated.
thanks

I see this as a trade off for perfromance the Chevy guys believe we the customer expect.. Our vehicle is supposed to have cat like quickness and grip! To have those two features something has to give... its our rubber .... My 08 Z51's lasted 12k front (with an alignment issue by design) and the rears lasted 23k? I went to the good old Firehawk Wide Ovals and did more of a street alignment that a follow member posted a good while back (hope it works)... I do have a little "slippage" hitting corners now, that was not there before, but it is still good performance plus these dudes will last to probably 30k all the way around
This is what I set it to:
L-front camber .... -0.8
R-front camber ... -0.8
L-front caster ... 7.9
R-front caster ... 7.9
L-front toe ... .10
R-front toe ... .10
Total front toe ... .20
L-rear camber ... -0.6
R-rear camber ... -0.6
Total rear toe ... 00.00

That was posted by RHC6 about 3 mos ago to a thread
Tires on Z51 last 10k mi only?
I had posted. Hopefully it helps.

btw- I think I saw some specs in another thread after that, but would be hard to find since it wasn't my thread.
