Hey guys,
This is my first Vette & performance vehicle so I'm learning a great deal about this type of car care. I know there are several threads about GS tires / brands / runflats vs non-runflats / etc but I wanted to have discussion directly about how my current alignment has affected my tire wear. I've posted pictures of my tires and the alignment I had done at 1,500 miles when I got back from picking it up in Dec. Right now I'm at 11,000 miles and I know its about time for new tires. I don't do burn-outs and I'm mostly conservatively during the week to and from work, but I do push the car on the weekends. I've listed some notable driving excursions below and I appreciate any advice given. The only thing interesting I've noticed is how the edges of both fronts are wearing, I assume it is from taking corners quickly and exploring the braking capabilities
.
With these tires I have:
First Alignment Print-out @ approx 1,500 mles
Driver Front
Passenger Front
Driver Rear
Passenger Rear
