Z51 Alignment Question
Old Forum guy here, but new to the C7 brotherhood.
I recently purchased a 2015 Z51 coupe. Everyone (guys in my local club) tells me the tires will only last about 12,000 to 15,000 miles. Some people recommend re-aligning the car to non Z51 specs, while others say you shouldn't attempt this with these tires.
Can any of you C7 gurus give an old forum guy, C7 newby, some sound advice?
Thanks

I have 13k miles on my Z51 aligned within factory spec (once when new, then again when I lowered on factory bolts) and my tires are still looking good. 20k should be no problem, with 25-30 maybe even being possible. This is street use though, track use is another story.
