YOu did a lot in your signature block to a ZLE and then neutered it with Toyo tires and this alignment, makes little sense.

Too, caster is not adjustable, Camber does not wear tires, toe wears tires. What you did makes no sense.

It makes perfect sense for a straight-ahead car. Improper camber can make the tire wear on one edge, which it did. I left some camber in it but zero camber will result in the most uniform tire wear. This Toyo makes a really good dry road and strip tire. I'll buy the Nitto 555Rii in 345 if and when it ever becomes available again.

Run them until they're cording. Anyone who "thinks" than their F1 tires are "shot" at only a few thousand miles can send them to me. I'll double that easy, and I track my car.

My rears corded at 14,000 miles. My fronts are still "trackable" at 16,000.

Seriously, I'll pay the shipping.

Camber does wear tires more on which offset you have then on which will lead to uneven wear.

One side of the tire will look brand new while the other will look like it's been on there for 100,000 miles.

Also a fan of the OE Goodyear's. Expecting no more than 8-12K miles on a set of these tires. Longevity probably about the same vs. other manufacturers for a high performance summer tire with proper alignment. Only have about 3K miles on my 2022 ZL1, but the Goodyear's stick like a mofo. Michelin OK of course, and I have Pilot Sports on other cars, but I'll buy the Goodyears again for ZL1.

I will probably get another set of Goodyear tires for my ZL1 when comes time to replace mine. That’s what the ZL1 was designed for but everyone is different.

I think I've still got my 3R's. If so, do you want them?
