Virtually all serious Corvette road racers I know (including myself) use 18" wheels all-around. Not only do you have a greater selection of tires/prices to choose from (as mentioned) but using 18's all-around lends itself to a more level setup of the car.
Even the Corvette Racing C6.R's use 18's all-around and they're probably not too worried about tire prices or selection. Tire manufacturers would probably make them anything they wanted.

I fixed it for you (mostly). Your incomplete thoughts aren't technically sentences. Grammar isn't rocket science to most.
350Z. 500+ pounds heavy and 100+ horsepower short IMHO.

I went with 295/18 all around on my C6 and put mine on the track for HPDE and also use it for street. I also know about 10 others that are running their Vets in TTU/ST1/ST2 and other Time Trial events and all of them run 18's all around. All of them have 295 front and most have 335 rear which lends to a set-up that will not promote an under or over steer.
For a tire right now that is both track and road the Nitto NT05 seems to be a choice for a good blend of both. It is a little noisy but the Supercar is also noisy after 3K.

Well, it's not rocket science. When I said "MY Z". When you can look at my avatar and see my 350Z.

and before u start disrespecting me and my car. im actually only at 3180lbs and know that i can take u on ANY coner. power isnt everything. maybe for an oldman the straight away is the only driving skill u have. while im a better all-around driver who can truly control his car. driving in a straight line is easy....
