Default passenger tire
I recently purchase a very nice 2010 Corvette with only 19,000 miles on it. The back tires look great and the left front is also good. The front passenger tire has quite a bit of wear on the outside edge but the car seems to drive perfectly. Is this a normal trait of the car?

Not normal for one tire to wear like that. Previous owner probably smacked a curb.

May need an alignment. Shouldn't be doing that.

No that not normal. The insides of the front tire tend to wear unless you get the Phat street alignment.

The outside edge wear indicates that wheel is out of alignment, which could have happened if the previous owner really nailed a curb; Regardless of how it happened, I would have an alignment done
