sounds like a camber issue i will check my spec and see if change would help. as light as the car is rapid tire wear would be unusual.

Hello,
I have a 05 Corvette Coupe that is in need of front tires or possibly a whole set if the deal is decent. If its just the front two I would be looking for the Good year 245x40x18. If you have a full set the rears are 285x35x19.
 
Any help would be great. I dont check this a ton so if you want to get a hold of me my number is 612-310-3474 (Dave) or my email is drbackstromyahoo.com -
 
Thanks!!!!!!

Hey! 05 corvette , My local Goodyear dealer told me yesterday that Goodyear was running a special on several different tires including the run flats ! This is in Kentucky , He said 40 dlrs less on front and back ! Might want to check out your local dealer and see ! ! ! Bust_it

I am experiencing the same problem. Front inside uneven wear to the cord. 16K miles on a Z06. Did the local dealer replace and realign under warranty? I can't get my dealer to budge. Did you find out if it was a camber issue?

Tire wear by bust_it

Hey ! I think I may have just sent you an e-mail . But Factory settings are too aggressive and when someone buy`s` a vette the dealer should ask how hard you plan to drive it ! And if you want to drive 70mph around a curve Factory Settings are what you want , but if you want to just cruise old lady settings are what you want ! I had my car set to the old lady settings and switched my fronts from side to side putting the smooth edges on the inside and the worn edges on the outside and am waiting to see what happenes and switching left to right this way won`t change direction ! But I`m sure you understand the tires must be switched from rim to rim ! And I have complained to Chevrolet and they said they would make me happy ! Good Look ! bust-it !

Vette Tires by newvibebuyer

The factory Goodyears on my 02 Vette Convertible were so badly cupped at 15,000 miles that I replaced them with Michelin run-flats - Michelin Pilot Sport A/S ZP (Zero Pressure) - front and rear. Amazingly quiet, and they provide great handling. My brother ('01 Convertible) put the same tires on his and also thinks they are great. I think the current model is called the Pilot Sport A/S Plus ZP. And the best thing - the Michelins were over $100 per tire cheaper when compared to the factory Goodyears.
