Looking for C5Z street tires
I need some street tires in c5z stock sizes and I know somebody probably has some. Looking for a full set fairly new and decent tread. About to buy new, but thought I would give it a shot.

Nitto nt-05 ftw! Several autox and a track day at njmp thunderbolt on them (6 sessions). The release very slowly at speed, good grip and they dont get greasy over a 25 min session. Great on the street. I will say in colder temps like below 50deg the tires to spin pretty easy. There is probly better street tires, but for the price they are great. I will buy again for sure.

Try some Hankooks
Check out the Hankook Ventus RS-3. I run them on my C5Z, but they don't make them big enough. I run my stock wheels with 255/40zr17 and 285/35zr18. They are just wide enough that they look ok.
I have run them at NCCC autocrosses and a few track days. They stick like no other street tire I have ever driven on. A couple weeks ago I was on the infield road course at Texas Motor Speedway and I was giving new ZR1s with experienced drivers a run for their money.
The Hankooks are greasy when you first mount them up, but after they get a heat cycle or 2 they just stick.
