19" Track Tires - do they exist?
 
I'm looking to keep my staggered set up on my C6 with 18" upfront and 19" in the back with at least 285's.

The problem...I can't find a set of 19" competition tires for road courses, especially one that fits on a stock size 19X10 wheel. Anybody got any recomendations?

Next question...if 19"'s are hard to find and/or too expensive, what size and set up is most commonly run for the C6 (nonZ06)?????

Help. Thanks.

I'd like to know also.

Hoosier makes the R6 for road course, and the A6 for autocross for 19" wheels. You can find them at TireRack.com. Good luck.:cheers:

I have a C6 Z06 and run Hossier 18 front and 19 rear; but I know a lot of guys who have C6s, both regular or Z06, run 18 all around because you have a lot more options. It's cheaper in the long run; but you have to get new wheels up front.

Toyo R888s have a 295/30r19 rear now.

Just checked the price on the Hoosiers...the difference between an 18' and 19' tire is about $12 per tire...not a huge difference.


Anyone know where one can buy the Toyo R888's? Not finding them in a quick search....

CCW has the R888. http://www.ccwheel.com/ You'll probably have to call him for pricing.

I also run the stock size in Hoosier and they work great

It's cheaper in the long run because on size 18 you have less expensive options than Hoosier.

Of course, cheaper it's not necesarily better.
