track = road course

best track street are toyo r888 or michelin pilot sport cup
best track hoosier r6/ Michelin race tires see bowmanized/ kumho race tires

if you want to spend the buck get the ccw wheels and go to 18 inches all around, if not the rear 19 are limited in sizes but they are available.

I run toyo r888 on stock wheels, as track wheels get trashed and oem c6 wheels can be had for 500 set.

i thought 19s would be good.

so i guess illl get 2 sets of wheels. 18s and 20s

c6 batmobile

I use a set of MT et streets at the track on a pair of C5 wagon wheels. Them suckers hook good when you heat them properly. Its no joke.

I have Michelin Pilot Sport Cups in 305/35 r19 and they seem to stick like glue on the back. I drive this car everyday and even see's rain with these tires.

The problem has been finding tires in 19 inch sizes. As we have seen in the past few years the 19's are becoming more popular and some companies have retooled to make the 19 race rubber others have not. You will be very hard pressed to find any scrub 19s but 10-18 inch no problem.
