Assuming you have MR: Z51 with magna ride comes with softer springs to provide a comfortable ride at the street or even when softness is needed at the track, and the shocks stiffen at the track to make up for soft springs. This works well, until you replace the tires with stickier ones and push the shocks more than they are tuned for. If not already, you should consider buying the DSC module, which would help you match the shocks' tune with the traction you have from those tires.
Looking forward to trying out my setup at the track : )

Burning Brakes
Run the non-run flat MPSS in a +1 size on a spare set of factory Z51 wheels. I go through about two sets of front tires to one set of rears. Eight track days on the front tires, about one and a half hours of track time each day. Compromise alignment between street and track.
Of course tire wear would vary widely depending on the track and driver, but it will give you some kind of idea.

OEM size is:
FRONT 245/35R19
REAR 285/30R20
So +1 size would be?
FRONT 255/35R19
REAR 295/30R20
What is the advantage of running the +1 size? More grip?

It looks like the reason for the +1 size is that they don't make the non-ZP tires in the 245 and 285, but they do make them in the 255 and 295 sizes. But, I don't see $4-500 difference. I see $250 max difference based off Tire Rack website.

On my 2015 Z51 I'm running Cray Spiders 18x9.5 +56 (front) & 19x11.0 +76 (rear) with Hoosier A7 275/35/18 (front) and 315/30/19 (rear). This are simply amazing on the track and are night and day over the stock tires (Thanks Alex @ TheSpeedDepot). For pads I'm using Carbotech XP20 and XP12 pads (Thanks Adam@Amp'dAutosport.com) and running Motul660 brake fluid. Finally, Spiegler SS Brake lines. Otherwise the car is stock except for cosmetic items.
Is your car lowered on stock bolts? Or just the way it left the factory?
