So, The front tires are 255s with 70% tread left. The rears are 285s with 70% tread left. The tires are mounted correctly, that was the very first thing I checked. I replaced all 4 of the shocks at...

Sound advice. I don't ever throw away anything, I just didn't have any clips that fit the width of the bumper. It seems like Corvette engineers could have secured the clamps onto the bumper a little...
