I assume you want full slicks? Try the autoX/road race section, I know road race stuff, but not what is best for autox

assuming that you are not going to use them on the street at all, Hoosier A6 or Kumho V710 are the two fastest tires out there. Sizes depend on the class you run in but anywhere from 275 to 335

You can put Kumho V710's on your stock C5 Wheels. 275/40/17 315/35/18 I drive on mine to all autocross events. 120 miles round trip.
