Tires for rr ????
I run stock size emt r/f and I want to run a track tire. I want to put them on a set of stock rims for z51. Can I get a few recommendations. TIA

Check The Tire Rack
Look under Kumho V700 & V710 or Hoosier A6/R6 race tires.
Likely you are going to have to plus size them slightly.
Hoosier A/R6 comes in 285/30ZR18, 295/30ZR18 and 295/30ZR19
Other run them so I am sure they will fit!

I run solo and have been to 3 diff tracks. Team-ProMotion gives great track time and a great group of people. Usually 3-5 track days a season and 8-9 20 minute sessions per day.

dave I would stick with a tire you can drive on since you are not going to change at the track.
Look at Nittos, Toyo or Kumho with some sort of tread.
I liked the kumhos V700s, but there are other choices like NT01, R888, Advan (if they still make them)

I agree that you should stick with a DOT track tire. I was extremely pleased with the Nitto 555R2. They offer lots of grip and feedback. I got a full season (7 weekends) out of them and a ton of street miles. But...I hear they are hard to find now.
