Default Track Tire Recommendations
What tires would you guys/gals recommend for weekend road race track events for my '04 Z06? And the best place to buy them. I have an extra set of Speedline OEM Z06wheels for the new tires. Thanks for your insight.

My T1 racer client runs Kumho v710s on the front and V700s on the back. Tire rack is pretty much the place to buy them. 295/40-17 and 315/35-17 is what she runs.

Most track cars are on either Kumhos or Hoosiers.
