Is this Alignment Correct

When my car was repaired the body shop said that because a wheel (rim and tire) was replaced that an Alignment had to be done before releasing it to me. Now, Looking at the paperwork it looks like they Aligned it for a ZL1 1LE Track use specs on a 2019 -2021. Now is this a problem that my car is a 2023 ZL1convertible and that I don't plan to go on the track. And will it wear down the tires funny or pre mature?

I think it's all inspec, it's TOE that will wreck tires, not camber but there is a lot dialed in there, but it should be fine. It's not wrong and they didn't mess up your car though indeed it's ZLE specs.

If you look at it, they printed the ZLE specs, but didn't follow them. Camber is only at 1.x, so basically nothing (which is where it started). They didn't really adjust anything except toe. I would have wanted rear toe to be a little less total, but it's better than it was when they started.

As stated, toe is what kills tires, and they made it better than it started. So you'll have less tire wear than before they aligned it.

Yep that's a mostly-good alignment. 99% you'll be fine. I doubt that the 0.01 degree out in the rear will matter more than the difference the replacement tire makes. Either way don't expect more than 10kmi out of the OEM tires, but don't worry about that ... instead enjoy your

They "fixed" your toe, didn't touch anything else.
Definitely better than before but mechanic did a "eh, that's good enough" job.

And you can obviously see he didn’t attempt to adjust your camber to the specified -2.6-2.9 range. As I would imagine that is the true track camber you would need if running at the track.

That's why I was questioning it... It just didn't seem like there was much done nor am I an expert at all this camber and Toe stuff.
