C6 is notorious for inside edge front tire wear. And unless we look, it can get downright dangerous. Point in case. Three years ago I noticed a slight rhythmic shake in my steering wheel Just before I was headed down into Wyoming for a week's run. Tires looked fine from a walk-a-round look but thinking I might have thrown a balance weight, I took it car to my local go-to shop and was pretty shocked to see a beveled edge and exposed cords on the inside edge of both tires. There was 30,000 k on the original F1 tires and the fronts still had 6/32 tread depth everywhere else. Since I don't track my cars, and two new tires later, I had him back off a hair on the negative camber (which is supposed to help avoid that edge wear). Went on my 5000 km run and noticed no difference in steering or handling whatsoever. Sold the car shortly after so don't know if it helped tire wear or not. They also warn not to back off the camber too far or it can cause other problems.
