Autocross and track day tires
It's time for new tires for my EB Z06. What's the consensus on the current best autocross/track day tires in standard Speedline wheel size? Also, what's the good alignment for autocross and track days? Thanks guys.

How much street driving / is the car also your daily driver?

My recommendation is to buy a set of four REAR C5 Z06 wheels in 18"X10.5". Then buy some real slicks from forum vendor GT race tires.
Now some here on our Forum will disagree, but I feel that seat time is more important than tires, so the reason for my recommendation is that street tires are expensive, and I can buy used slicks for $50ea to $200ea. I run cheap slicks in order to save my expensive street tires. You don't need huge tires. Slicks stick so much better that I happen to run 265X18 front and 285X18 rear and they have twice the stick of my 335X18 PS2s. |
Try posting in the Autocross/Roadrace section. Also tire choice may depend on class and org that you are wanting to participate in.

I have a separate DD so this probably sees at most less than 1,000miles of DD. Make sense to post in the autocross subforum. I will do that. Thanks guys.

Not the best tire to start out on in that sense but great on the wallet. |
