Default C7 Z51 Alignment Recommendation - Aggressive Street Driving

My 2016 Z51 has 16,000 miles and front tires are down to 2/32. Rear is down to 5/32.

Purchased Michelin all season Pilot Sport A/S 3 Plus run flats replacements - stock size.

I had read an earlier thread that referenced DSG alignment specs but, I can't find it now. I just read a few (sometimes heated) threads and really can't determine which specs are best for aggressive street driving.

Also, should I get alignment before or after new tires are installed?

Thanks for you advice,

Thanks for you advice,
its DSC Sport. Look up their website. If you don't plan on doing any track driving, just do the stock alignment. You should never see an instance on the street where a bit more negative camber will be noticeable. Specially not on all-seasons. I've ran the stock alignment at the track and it's fine for that too until you get fast.

Thanks for your advice. I think you have it right. About 30 minutes ago as I was looking for another document, I found the DSC Sport specs on my desktop.

Just not worth the extra wear from having negative camber.
