Default What size rubber for stock c6 z51 for track days?

hey so I'm going to buying new tires for the next season and I've seen a lot of people on here running square setups for track days. Is this the way to go? I do really like the idea of being able to rotate my tires. Worried about traction control not working properly with the square setup though. Anyways any recommendations welcome.

I'm thinking about going with 275x40x17 on 17x9.5 rims anybody have experience with this? Still worried about traction control ******** itself.

I believe most folks advocate for 18x10.5 runing a square 295 setup, traction control ive been told becomes an issue as well as speed sensors ao bear that in mind.

I guess you can just run with traction control turned off all the time?
