Default Track Tire help

I am looking for some help on what size tires to purchase (to go on Z06 wheels). The tire rack is telling me that 305-30-18 for the rears and either 255-40-17 or 275-40-17 for the Ft. Any suggestions or reccomendations?

Also how about tire pressures for the Victoracers?

Thanks

Jeff Donnelly

Jeff,
Go with the 275/40-17 front. I have those on my stock wheels and they work fine. I actually use 315/35-17 front on 17x10 wheels on my SCCA T1 car.
Good discussion on the Victoracer pressures/temp here:
