firestone wide oval(non runflat). Great tread wear, cut 1.90's at a decent track, wear great, work well in the rain, and don't cost too much. My Z won't ever see another tire.

ran through 8-10 sets of them on my mustangs. Slighter better tire at the track, cut 1.80's with 200-250rwhp, but they need to be heated with a healthy burnout to maximaze their potential. I'm sure some c5's have gone 1.70's with them, but they get a litty hairy in the rain after the tread wears down. And they don't hook near as good as a MT or BFG drag radial. Go with a good street tire unless you hit the track on a weekend basis.

go to tire rack.com and look at some pics of tires. I got some general UHPs (ultra high performance) for my coupe. But I got them at metro 25 for $726 out the door. They don't make them in 265/40 for the front but you could go 275/40 and 295/35.
