Hey guys, newbie here
Just bought a brand new 2021 ZLE about two weeks ago.

I have driven this car properly with no redlines or over 4k RPM's, and no track usage since I am following the break-in period. Today I brought it to the dealer in Fort Worth where I live to get an oil change and they said my treadwear on my tires were literally trashed. The outside tread is gone...
I first thought they were joking, but did notice them looking a little weird...plus my car pulls a little to the left...the tech drove it and def confirmed it was pulling to the left.

A little back story...

I actually purchased the car in Oklahoma, since it was the only dealer in 300 miles that had a M6 version I wanted. Drove it home that night and put 190 miles on it from the freeway.
Has barely been driven after I came home from Oklahoma until the wife and I went to Choctaw Casino in Oklahoma and we took the ZLE since I wanted to put some mileage on it to break her in to 500...that was this past weekend...went from 207 to 500 when we got back home....then took to the dealer today and that's when they told me.

They couldn't check the alignment because they were afraid their rack wouldn't fit it? So they want me to bring it back and leave it for a day to check it out...is this a known thing with alignment and tire wear? I guess I shouldn't have driven it on the freeway so much lol.

The paperwork says the tread life is at 6 in the front and 5 in the rear :(

Any help would be appreciated...Thanks!

Your tires are brand new. They only come with 5/32 new

Take a picture of both the tires if you can. These tires look worn out when new😂😂😂

Sounds pretty much like my Supercar 3Rs. Couple of trips around block, toast

Did your car have an alignment problem when new?

What he said!

I’ll take a picture and send it here. It’s a slight alignment issue but yes I felt it driving hone the night I bought it...but I thought I remember someone saying this model has alignment quirks when new?

Would wager the dealer doesn't know what they are talking about or trying to get one past you.

Factory supercar 3's only have 7/32nds on them, 5/32 on the 3r's for the ZLE

I know you have the softer 3R compound, but you should still get a good 5k+ miles if you do not track it or light the tires up all the time.

as ScottyZ said, take a picture and post it.

My alignment was good. I put roughly 1500 miles on mine before my street setup was put on the car and the originals were put aside for track days. Lots of tread still there. Yes you may have an alignment issue right from the factory which may have done your tires in.

Here are the pictures. Apologies if it’s hard to see. I got on the garage floor

[Scottyz]

Toast? 😂😂😂
They look good to me. When I looked at my car off the car hauler they looked the same.

[atst2009]

The pics are on the left passenger side. They pretty much look the same on the drivers side. Here’s the drivers side

[Scottyz]

It’s surprising but I have a feeling maybe that dealer isn’t familiar with the rubber on the ZLEs. I could be wrong too and maybe somebody will see something I’m not seeing but I doubt it.

Yeah he was a young guy. Early to mid twenties. He said he knows corvettes really well and I’m like uhhh aren’t these corvettes in a Camaro body Essentially LOL
