Default C6 Autox/Street Tires

What's the best compromise tire for street/autox use for a C6? I autox about once per month. I want a sticky tire that will last maybe 10k miles.

Thanks

I would have to say the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 fits that description pretty damn well. It would be my tire of choice if I was running a street tire and Autoxing.

I've had these on my car for the last year and been to 2 HPDE's with them. So far, I'm very impressed with how they handle. I've pulled just over 1G with them and I'm only using 235's .

I haven't autocrossed with them yet, bet they should do well.

I am running Kumho MX's and have been pretty happy with them.

If I were looking fot a straight autox tire I would be looking into the AZENIS 615'S. They are a 200 treadwear and stick very close to V700 r-compound.

Are you limiting yourself to stock wheels? The Toyo R888 works well on CCW 18s all around...
