This has been beat to death but...when I had my '05 Z51 equipped car aligned some years back I had never heard of pfadt specs. I told the alignment shop to align it to dead center "base" specs, not Z51 specs. They did and I got great tire life...and I lived happily ever after.

What specifically are the "Pfadt", "phat", "FAT" specs then?
Are they appropriate for just "spirited" daily driving to the office while hopefully extending the tire life a bit?
I'm getting new tires today and an alignment in a few days, (Costco does not do alignments so have to make another stop at the dealer).
Not sure what to tell them to set it at.
The current stock set on my Z51 at 19k miles is below 3/32 on the outside but it has been showing threads on the insides for about 4k miles.
I'd like to get it set to wear a little more evenly this time.

See my post right above yours. It answers your question.

Thanks...did not see that post when I posted.
My OEM Z51 tires are fried at 19k...(really at 15k but I did not notice I had run the fronts to the threads on the inner sections.)
What was your mileage for "great tire life"?

Want long tire life ... Forget the OEM specs ... Forget the PFADT specs
Have them set these specs:
Front Camber:. . . . . -0.5 degrees
Rear Camber: . . . . . -0.3 degrees
Front & Rear Toe: . . . As close to 0.0 degrees as they can get it
Don't worry about the Caster .. It's non-adjustable

Sounds like Street-Performance is the one.
Have used PSP on my C5 & 2 C6s as soon as new skins were bought & installed. After watching factory GYs seemingly melt regardless how easy car's driven, been very happy w/ Pfadt.
Never tracking made longevity the most important factor for me, while handling's indistinguishable from factory for ordinary cruising. YMMV
