Default I really need help with tires PLEASE!!!!

I have no idea what to do here. I really need a new set for the back. I want something I can put on to drive to the track with (1/4 mile) and then drive back home with.

From what I have read nitto's seem to be the best way to go. I have a spare set of 19's (rims only) for the back. how much tire can I get on them?

2006 c6, ecs kit, 610rwhp with a huge traction problem.


Thank you in advance.

I have heard MT ET Street is a better drag radial than the NT05R. The M&H drag radials are supposed to be very good as well, also better than NT05R. M&H not available in 19" though.

You have a set of Z06 wheels? Or base model wheels?

If Z06 you should be able to get a 345 on them. No clue on base model.
