My caster is off left to right also, however i dont believe it's adjustable on our cars. SPL front tension rods will change that.
I've also had alignment issues but that didn't start until closer to 1k miles. The dealership Ive taken my car to said the tires needed to be replaced and they were practically new at the time

Think of 3Rs as being closer to a drag slick suitable for warm to hot dry pavement with very short life.

They are far and away the most dangerous street tire I've owned in 50+ years of driving.

Exactly. I put 4500 miles on my 3R's when I purchased it new. That was the sketchiest time I've ever spent in a car. It was awesome when it was 95F outside, but like ice skating if it was damp outside or cool. Quite an experience. It was also like 45F out when I purchased the car and had a 4 hour drive, so that was also a quick learning curve just leaving the dealership totally sideways and sliding through the on ramp 1000 feet away...

lol, sell me those tires, I'll put them on my ZLE :P

Seriously, they're fine. The alignment on your car is warrantied until 6,500 miles. I had mine adjusted at 6k, it was a little off.

Take it to Texas Track Works in Ft. Worth dude. The alignment is $150, you won’t have that left pull and possibly extend the life of the tires.

Tires are fine. The dealers have just never seen 3Rs before.

Someone asututely mentioned it...these, 1, look perfectly fine, but 2, they're dangerous in the wet; hydroplane like crazy. They're fantastic on dry summer days

Very few Chevy dealers can/will align a ZLE properly... find yourself a good performance alignment shop and make friends with them ... a good alignment will pay for itself in reduced tire wear quickly.

Gran Turismo East does mine in Georgia... I have zero pull, and even wear on all 4 corners... Your 3r’s should last much longer than 500 miles in the conditions you describe..

The ZLE is very sensitive to toe, and no, it is not a Corvette !

Best of luck,
Bill

No problem. With them you’ll get it done right the first time.
