Default Street and track tire setup...help!

I have z06 replicas (10 wide in back and 9 wide up front I believe?) on a base c6 I am either going to buy a set of track wheels or I was thinking about going with nitto nt-05s.

I am currently running ventus v12 265 35 18 up front and 285 wide ovals in back.

I want to go with 265 35 18 and 305 35 19 nitto nt-05. Which I think would be a good hpde and street tire.

Can I go with these sizes without causing traction/abs issues?

Thanks!

I don't see any issue, I think that is what I have on mine. I have a set of 2008 split spoke wheels with used Michelin cup tires and TPS sensor that I will work you a deal on.

Not sure where you live but I am 20 miles east of St Paul MN.

I think the size you are supposed to go with is 305 30 19 not 35 that is what I am worried about. Can you shoot me a pm with a pic?

I'm running a 245/40 front and 305/35 rear no issues.
I've ran a 305/35-19 nt05r and I didn't care for it. I also have 305/35-19 et streets and they run large compared to the nitto but they hook up for me a hell of a lot better then the nittos.




Just notice you said hpde. I'd look into seeing what size r888 come in or see if yokohama advans have a good tire size for a vette. I've ran r888 and the advans on my old civic that I use to track with. Super grippy for taking turns

I am traveling this week and I keep my toy cars at my car condo. When I go there this weekend I will look and take pictures.
