Please help with alignment issue..2011 GS
I tried to search, but can't seem to find the answer. All four tires are wearing on the inside with just 2000 miles. I read were Chevrolet set it up this way for aggressive handling, but I am more concerned with getting some miles out of my tires. Can anyone point me in the right direction to a set of specs for this car that will help with normal street use and tire wear?
Thanks in advance!!!

I thought I had a bookmark for that info., but I can't find it.
Here's the information I saved that was posted here by Pfadt Race Engineering for 100% street use and this is what I had my alignment set to when I got my used 08 a few months ago that seem to have more tread worn than I would have liked.
Front
Camber = -0.8 deg.
Caster = 8.0 deg.
Toe = 0.0 in.
Rear
Camber = -0.5 deg.
Toe = 0.0 in.
EDIT: Okay, I found the Pfadt document that agrees with what I posted above.

Hey guys. If you're looking for a solid alignment spec that works really well for our street car customers take a look at our alignment guide.
Thanks for posting the guide you had access too Jim. We've done a few updates to make it a little easier for folks on different alignment equipment to dial in a great alignment setting. Our new alignment guide can be found here: Pfadt Race Engineering Alignment Guide
All the settings are the same, the new document just includes a little more information for the techs who may be working on different alignment equipment!

. I ended up having to just tell them to make the f/r ratios the same as factory but with maxed out camber. I dont know if they were just inexperienced and didnt know what to do, or if they were lieing thinking they knew better...
