Are these Z/28 tires? If so, it's normal; actually sounds above average.

3200 miles, including 4 track days, down to 2/32. Maybe another 1000 (dry) street miles on them left. Wearing better than I anticipated as well.

If I may ask, what cold/hot pressures did you use? And how much camber did you have front and back?

Tread face wear looks amazing even. Shockingly so to my eyes. That is what a well engineered suspension gets you

The manual states no less than 26PSI, yet Pirelli site states 2bar (29 PSI) hot, which would require 22-23 PSI cold. I just don't think 22-23PSI is acceptable, so I'll follow GM's recommendation of 26 PSI minimum. An alternative way would be starting 26 PSI cold, then keep bleeding until 29 PSI hot, but who has time for that?

G:2s last quite long (15K?) in our experience, until you go to track with them.
