Better Pfadt sheet that does not give them a ton of wiggle room, and its the "Pure Street" alignment you want to have the car aligned to,

If the alignment guy really knows his stuff, take him your old tires (marked with previous location) and he can see how the wear is for your style of driving.
I'm at 124K miles with the OEM factory alignment and have had perfectly even wear on every sets of tires. Apparently, my mix of daily driving and performance (aka spirited) driving fits what the factory settings anticipated. The factory assumed that a Z51, a GS, and a Z06 were going to be driven more agressively, which is why they usually need realigned for the everyday driver.
