Default Drag pack for street???

How many of us are running them on a regular basis? I have a set of CCW500 19"er's for the street but a drive the car locally and trailer it to the track. So I'm throwing around ditching the 500's recouping some $$$ and running the drag pack which are 16" classics! Any thoughts? I also have a set of stock Z wheels that I have for road course witch have Toyo's R888 if I really need a more streetable tire. Appreciate any feed back......

My C5 was on 16" classics drag pack from day one, is now on billet specialties 15" street lites (front and rear) and sees the street regularly.

My C6 was on 17" classics drag pack very often as well.

I've put a lot of miles on at least 5 cars I've built/owned with drag pack wheel setups.

I run the drag pack full time, but is not a daily. A street set is nice to have so you don't waste the drag tires, and you can actually corner it lol.

I'm on a set of 16" CCW's but rarely get an opportunity to drive it. Less than 1k a year.
