Default Tire wear

Hi everyone I have a 08 C6 Z51 9500 miles my right front tire is worn out my left front tire looks right for the miles,the wear pattern on the left seems even and on the right maybe a little feathered all the ribs close to even wear, what gives alignment? toe in, toe out, caster- camber seems to drive ok not pulling left or right thanks red

alignment.

Mine were the same, but left wore out the inside edge.

PFADT street alignment fixed the wear and gave me great handling.

I would probably suspect alignment as well. Here is a link to the Pfadt Alignment guide that bldbrd69 was talking about. The Performance Street alignment recommendation offers a great starting place for a balance of handling and tire wear. Click the picture for a printable version you can take into an alignment shop, the image is pretty big and I don't want to break forum tables here:
