ZL1 alignment

Jaydoubleyou · 10-18-2023, 04:03 PM

I recently may have dodged a bullet with a possible blowout and who knows what with a tire running bad on the inside rear. I ended up replacing the set with PS4S because I daily the car. I bought the car about a year ago and it had Michelin all seasons on it. In the spring I got sport cups on the rear and went with a 315 with zero issues. After about 5 weeks I got a nail dead center and had to order another one. It was still fresh and I only lost 1mm and didn’t track it or really race it really one good launch.

I started noticing some serious sway after I put those 315s on there took it to a tire shop (probably a mistake). I guess I’m just sharing so others may not make the same mistake and maybe I can also learn more on alignments
I took a picture from my local Chevy dealership.

A nail dead centre means you could’ve probably had it repaired With both a plug and or a patch

How was that tire repaired that you know of? If a shop did it they would not plug it but dismount the tire and plug it from the inside. Usually doesn't need to be rebalanced as they put it back on the rim in the same location. If on your alignment sheet the toe is "green" front and rear, it should be good. But, if Camber is out like a half degree on the same axle L/R it can possibly lead to some poor driving characteristics.

Need to see that alignment sheet.
