I am fairly sure this has been beat to death somewhere, but are there any tires other than these MPSS tires for the rear wheel of the 2016 c7z06? When you search only the michellin and Conty show up both of which wont hookup worth a crap. Was wanting to run NT01's or R888R's, but no size fits. Any input welcomed.

Choices are limited. If you start fiddling with slightly different sizes it opens up your options a bit.

Are you wanting NT01s and R88Rs for road use, or for the track? If you are at the track, why not get a set of slightly smaller wheels and then you can run any tire you want? I know a lot of track guys go for Forgelines or CCWs, which will clear the CCBs and let you run wider tires.

The MPSS hooks just fine with enough heat put into them.

Are you looking to drag race?

Mpss is a great tire for street/track, sport cup 2 is an awesome tire for track, just expensive.

Roll into it slower til the tires are hot or get 19" rear and run r888r

How about dropping the tire pressure down to 27-28 psig cold and give that a shot.

I took a different route than many. Federal 595 RPM 335/30R20 out back and 285/35R19 in front. Super cheap, I paid like $650 for the whole set off Amazon. Figured if they suck I'll burn 'em off as quick as possible. I kept a set a wheels with the Michelin's on them in case I want to swap for a road course event. My car is 99% street driven though. Ride is better than MPSS run-flats, but they definitely don't hold the road as well and I'm not crazy about how the car looks with the extra sidewall.

You might be surprised though (I was) - I cut a 1.63 60' on them at Orlando Speedworld!

I'm looking at tires as well other than the MPSS. I tried my stock tires yesterday.

The first pass I left at 1k after a burn out tires only have maybe 1500 miles and couldn't put the right pedal down and was still spinning by the 330 mark. Track may have been a little slick it was getting pounded
500 cars were there. Only had 3 passes 2 with stick and 1 with the auto and left off idle with it and it spun as well.

When you step up the horsepower levels past the past the stock levels the tires seem to go away.

Much like we see with GM and Callaway both listing 11's at mid 130's.

Much like Farmer who went straight to tire with his new ZR1 he knows stock rubber forget it!
Then Mike 717 with stick I'm did just what he is doing poor 60ft's.
Stock rubber in cool air with 750 hp PLUS the 60ft goes way on the stock rubber. Not putting the power down at all.

So new tires for the track it is! I going with JC blownC5 is running!
