Default Sticky 20in tires??

About to do a widebody on my 09 C6. I planned on staying 19/20 but I’m not finding many tire choices in the rear. Packing 720whp and need something that hooks somewhat for the street. What’s everyone using???

I’d recommend a set of 17’s. You’re not going to hook 720 wheel on 20’s.

Sport cup 2 is your best bet, but agreed, you're not hooking 700whp on the street. You can hope for "forward movement is possible", but you don't hook with 700whp on pretty much anything not AWD. Even some AWD stuff doesn't hook 700whp.

Plenty of people are hooking 700 whp on 345 r888r's. Could do a 19/19 setup.

He’s still making 60+ more hp then I am right now. OP what kind if torque are you making?

In all fairness to the toyo’s. I haven’t ran mine in warmer temps. 50- mid 60’s so far. I’m thinking about trying some Et street ss’s on my 18’s though. I have a set of et street r bias ply’s 17”. They hook.

I run 20's and there is basically two choices, Michelins or Pirelli's. I have had both and can tell you the Pirelli's are a lot better than the Michelins, don't waste money on Michelins, P-Zero's are best street tire available.

I love the look of the 20s but I’m past the point on performance. I’m doing 17 with with the tires I need. Thanks

Wise choice. I have learned to like a little more tire showing.
