Default best tire choices for C5 Z06 wheels?

I'm looking at possibly going to C5 Z06 wheels on my 99 but I don't see much in a good street tire that would also be a good tire for auto-x.

Maybe I'm not looking in the right places. Suggestions?

Nitto, Hankooks and some Kumhos (most recommended) and Hoosier. There out there.
One other thing is cost. How fast do you want to go is also determined in tires.

I like the Nitto NT-05 for dual street/track use. The tire has good traction and wear. The price isn't bad either. It isn't the best in the rain, but you shouldn't be driving your vette in the rain anyway.

My Vette is my only car so it does see rain. Guess I should have specified that.
