Default What to use as a front tire?
I am on stock c5 z06 wheel sizes. On that back I will be running M/T ET Street S/S 305/40/18.

What do I use on the front?

Intended use is street only...

Thank you!

It's a bad idea to use different make tires on the front and rear.
Find a matching set.

I have the original Goodyear run flats and only need front tires right now. How bad is it to get another brand of non run flats on the front while waiting for the rear tires to wear out.

Z06 did not come OEM with runflats.
