A6 tires and sizing??
I have an 08 Z06. I want a tire that i can drag race with. I already have the c6 wheels from my last car so what i'm thinking to save money is to put these A6 tires on the 10'' wheels. I know it will look horrible but it will only be for drag racing. So i've found some different sizes and what is the biggest size i could go to w/ this combo? i found 295/30/19 and 315/40/19..will these 315's fit??? or should i just stick w/ the 295's? and other suggestions?

From what I've heard from the very few that have tried these (as well as some other stiff sidewall/sticky road racing oriented tires) on the drag strip, they are slightly better than the stock tires but not by that much, their super stiff sidewalls allowed for no cushioning and even caused wheel hop in some instances.
