Default HPDE C6 sticky?

Would somebody please make a HPDE C6 sticky?

There is a bunch of stuff I would like to know.

For example, if I put CCW 18X11 on the rear wheels and 18X10 on the front I could go

front: Toyo RA1 275/35/18
rear: Toyo RA1 305/35/18

But what about these others?

Front: Advan A048 285/30R18
Rear: Advan A048 295/30R18 or 315/30R18

Front: Hoosier R6 P275/35ZR18
Rear: Hoosier R6 P315/30ZR18

Front: Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 285/30ZR18
Rear: Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 295/30ZR18 or 315/30ZR18

Thanks!

You can go Nitto 555RII 275/40/17 in front and 305/35/18 rear on C5 wheels if you change Z51 brake rotors to base brake rotors in front. Have to change brake caliper mount to do that.

I am not impressed with the 295 fronts and 345 rear Mich Cups on my car. Noisy on the street, so-so on the track. I feel like I am back to dirt track racing with them, and after a few laps more like ice racing!

Of the tires listed there is no question: The Hoosier R6 are tops.

I use them in my C6Z and they are fast, predictable and a joy to drive on.
