I'm running Nitto NT-01 and want something with a little more stick.
Other than going to Hoosier R6, is there anything avail. That will fit stock rims?

Kumho V710.

Nitto 555RII. Compromise between Hoosier/Kumho slick and street tires. Can be driven to and from the track, comes in sizes to fit your rims (275f,305r) and cost less than a grand.

Through the years I have tried A6, R6, 710, 888, and several street tires. I am now on my second set of Nitto01's and I like them best for HPDE. They are not the stickiest but they do stay consistent through a 30 minute workout and from weekend to weekend. Although there are stickier tires for track, they lose it quicker. I enjoy the feel of the consistency better for HPDE. One can learn more about the track and stay sharp on skills.

They are no longer under a grand.

I have 18" all around on my C5 Z06, with NT-05 tires. I got 10,000 street miles and 6 track days (3 or 4 20 minute sessions per day) before they were down to their wear bars (but not corded). You must heat them up before they stick properly, but you need heat in R-Comp tires too, so these are an excellent "combo" tire.

You're right my bad. They're $1012.

I currently have a set of NT01s and Southern Son is correct they are consistent over time but IMHO they don't stick as well as the 555. After driving Hoosiers though I'm done with these as soon as they wear out.

I guess I should have stated that these tires are exclusively track use. I've been very happy with the NT-01 performance. I got 14 track days out of my last set. Very predictable tire. No complaints whatsoever. All I want is to move to a stickier tire without going to Hoosier. I may have to move to scrubs to get what I want.
Thanks for the replies everyone.

FWIW, I tried a set of grand-am scrubs on my C5Z and I didn't care for them. They were not consistent for me and did not seem to be well suited to my style of driving or level of prep on the car (pretty close to stock). I have had Hoosier's in the past (different car) and other than the fact they didn't last very long, their level of grip vs cost was pretty awesome. I have run a few sets of NT-01's on my C5Z, but I have thought multiple times about trying something else.

I drive to and from events on the R compounds sometimes up to 5.5 hours away.

I no longer have stock rims but, I was VERY pleased with the track performance of my new Hankook Ventus R-s3's.
