Tires need help
Hey everyone, I have been sliding my car a lot recently and getting more into drift. I burned through a set of basically brand-new tires in 4 months, and when I needed tires, I went to a couple of different shops. There aren’t too many tire options for the C5 Z06. I went with the Continental Extreme Contact Sport O2s for now but definitely am looking for a more cost-effective option in the future. My question is, can I size up or down on the rear tires for it to be cheaper? Not really sure what to do. Any advice would be helpful.
TIA

You can actually put stock c5 base tires on z06 rims
275 40 18
245 45 17
if it were my car, I would buy some base rims, and base tires just for drifting, keep your nice set of z06 rims and z06 tires for daily driving, just my .02

I agree with the advice given in post #2.
