I know everyone is tired of answering this question . I have a 07 z-06 which I plan to use to do a number of HPDE's and autocrossess with this year. I plan on trailering the car to the different events. I have purchased a set of stock painted wheels which I need tires for. The question is what is the best tire for these events being that I will be trailering, and knowing that the rear 19" size has limited manufactures. All info will be appreciated knowing this subject has been run into the ground. I do not at this time have the option of going to a 18" rear.

Thanks

Although their prices have gone up, IMO the best bang-for-the-buck tire for a combination HPDE/Auto-x car is the Kumho V710. Excellent grip and seems to wear really well compared to the Hoosiers. And they're lighter than all but the Hoosiers.

I ran a set at Motorsports Ranch last year and got through 40+ twenty minute sessions before the fronts corded. My suspension is considerably modified from stock, however, so YMMV.

Go Hoosiers! Look on tirerack.com prices and sizes are there.

I have just purchased a new set of R-6 hoosiers and a set of stock wheels for HPDE events for my 07 Z.
Can I ask for feedback on recomended tire pressures....ie Cold and best hot pressures?
Many Thanks

40-41 hot try 32-33 Front 31-32 rear. Some here recommend way lower but it feels horrible to me and tires will be gone in short order.
