I am replacing my tires for Michleins tommorrow and does anyone know what the alignment for the front and rear should be set? Thanks,Rod
Don't know, but had my car aligned front and rear at Bells Auto works, there by the john Wayne airport in orange county. These guys do all the high end cars in the area. They set my car up perfectly, after i hit a truck tred and damaged the Rt lower control arm. They also replaced my front bumper perfect match in paint.
There is no simple answer. Depends on your intended use and desires. Do you want best handling for autocross, minimum wear, best straight line performance, etc?
You need to decide and tell your alignment guy exactly what settings you want.
Do a search and spend the time on the research.

We have an alignment guide available on our website. It tries to give suggestions for different car uses.
For track use, there is no substitute for testing.

Your Pure Street camber seems a bit high for pure street. What do you mean by pure street? Are you saying that interstate driving and downtown and city driving should be at the camber numbers you show -0.8 front and -0.5 rear? Stock camber for the C6 coupe/convertible is -0.45 front and back. That amount still wears out the inner edge of the tire and there have been MANY threads in this forum showing some thread bare tires from stock settings. To get the best mileage out of the tires, I run -0.1 on the camber front and back. Granted, this is not the best setting for any kind of "twistie" driving but for straight street driving and interstate, the lower camber will give the longest tread wear for our tires. I'm very surprised at the high values you show on "Pure Street". I have no issues with the other three camber settings as you are using the camber to give agility in the turns.
