Anyone have an opinion to offer as to which street tire is good for autocrossing? I have the OEM Goodyears which will need to be replaced soon. Just started xing, so not quite into Hoosiers yet.

What year Corvette? and will you be driving these tires on the street much?

Any good quality summer tires will get the job done. If you're a newbie there's plenty of other ways to start going faster than tires. (namely experience)

NASCAR314 - it's a 2008 Z06. Yes it will be driven on street quite a bit.

Thrillhouse - agreed, I need plenty more seat time and I know tires will not be a substitute. I was just thinking if I need new tires this summer maybe I should start considering something more suitable to autocross, not that there is a lot of choice. And I forgot to mention the OEMs are of course runs flats, so that leaves me with Goodyears again or Michelins or Bridgestones for a different tire.

In accordance with some tire test I have read articles on, the Kumho XS extreme performance summer tire is a very good tire. Have seen a lot of Vettes running the XS in the stock class in NCCC and the people I have spoke with about those tires are happy with them.

The Kumho XS and Bridgestone RE-11's are great tires, but do not come in sizes for the C6 Z06

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup "PS2's" are an option (but a bit pricey) and exact sizes are not available. Closest rear would be a 315/25ZR19

Good Luck!
