Drag Radials for Base C6
I have a 2011 C6 coupe. No mods, A6. What are you guys using for drag radials? What size tire and what wheel? This car will stay stock. Only mods possible are a Cartek tune and an airbox.

I've been running a 305/35/19 MT ET Street II on a 19x10 rim for over a year now. Good tire just gotta be careful in the rain with them.

Dave I would use Nitto 555 for your new Vette.. they will hook up fine with a stock motor & converter, & you will get a lot more street miles with them..
I used to use them with my car when it was running 12.2 the Nitto 555 lasted me all season, & it drove FINE with them on the rear & the OEM tires on the front...
I was using 04 thin spoke 18" wheels 9.5" wide and the 305/35x18" fit perfect ..no codes and they lasted.. !!

Dave, I forgot to suggest to you last Wednesday that I had a set of MT tires mounted and if you wanted to "try" them on your car let me know. As I am selling both cars (although if the insurance companies come thru soon, things may look up) and all my rim/tire setups they may be a good combo for you on your C6. They are 295/45-17's mounted on aftermarket ZO-6 rims and I never ran them, and only tried them on my C5 to see if they fit. While I never put them on my C6, I think your "base" car brake system will easily clear the rims, they are a little tall for a stock rear ratio however. Let me know.
