Tire question
I am getting a set of c6 z's 18x9.5 (front) 18x10.5 (rears) and planning on wrapping them in Nittos. Should I go with NT555's all the way around or NT555's in the front w/ NT555RII's in the back? Since it is my DD and chauffeur my daughter (she is 5 
) I am looking for the best possible handling setup.
Yes I have a car seat in the z
Thanks

555's in the front and 555r2's in the rear buuuuddddddddyyyyyyyy You want an R-compound tire in the rear... that is unless you simply enjoy just roasting the tires.

I'm going against the grain here and saying either get all regular 555's or go with a complete set of 555R-II's. Do NOT mix the compounds, the car understeers enough as it is. That's safer...but you also said best handling.
My vote is a complete set of 555R-II's.
