So I have no reason to believe that anything is wrong other then the tires. And the kicker was the whole runaround that I and my local tire dealer here got from the tech guy at Nitto - was going to warranty them so dealer ordered the tires and had 2 of em on the car - then reneged and said they wouldn't warranty them. SO from my experience I have no faith in Nitto - and I have a set of tires that won't balance and I'm stuck until I can come up with a grand to buy new ones...

OK.......I am assuming (maybe incorrectly) you bought the car that way (poor tire balance).

I just went through trying to balance front tires after moving wheel weights around to clear C5 Z06 brakes on a 90'. It was NOT easy but finally got job done (not Nittos). It took a lot of wheel weights on the inside and finally outside of A-Molds.

It would be interesting to have someone near by with a Z switch tires with you and isolate which wheel/tire is the culprit or otherwise isolate the issue.

I do know that running a Z with wheel imbalance is NO fun especially on curves/cornering where it shows up the most. The width of the front wheels makes tire balancing even more difficult on a Z. And.....most difficult when you want ALL wheel weights hidden.

Let us know the outcome in your previous thread regarding your specific issue.
