Tires for Z06

What's the best tires that get good traction help negate the Ackerman affect on a 2016 Z06? Thanks for your input.

Great tire - I run them on my GT500. Unless something's changed, however, they're not available Z06 sizes.

Do they do anything for the front tires 'hopping' in cooler weather? (Ackerman Effect)

I think almost any other tire will stop that effect. I've had Toyo R888R and Michelin PS4S both in 295/30/19, an even wider tire than the stock, and neither did that.

As Norton said neither come in stock sizes, but you can play with the size a little bit.

295/19-325/20 combo of the PS4S works just fine on the Z06. And yes, they do pretty much eliminate the "Ackerman" effect in cooler temps, at least as cool as it gets in Dallas
