Default Wheel/tire combinations

I am thinking about putting the CCW 505A rims on my Z06. Anyone have suggestions on a good tire to wrap around this wheel?

Your choices are fairly limited - I think you're looking at Michelins or Pirellis. If you buy from John @ CCW he will mount and balance the tires for you - ready to bolt on.

You can not go wrong with Toyo Proxies, great tire. There is nothing about them I can fault up to this point. They had a wear rating over 200 so down the road maybe I will be unhappy, but right now they are fantastic.

I don't think Toyo makes a wide enough tire for a 19" rim with the CCW's width....
