What Size Tire
Wanting to buy z06 size wheels, and when I went to the Tire rack web site and was only shown two choices for tires, Goodyear and Michilen, both quite a bit more than I want to spend. I know nothing about tires and I punched in the stock sizes of 265/40/17 front and 295/35/18 rear. What size tires and brand do forum members recommend that won't brake the bank? Thanks!

You could go with Kumho ECSTA MX. The only problem is that they don't make a 265/40/17 size, but you can "safely" upgrade your front to 275/40/17. A lot of guys do this because there are a lot more choices in that size as well.

I want to thank Admiral94 and Luke@Tirerack for your response. 
Luke, when I got on your web site the GY GSD3s and Kumhos were both back order items. Do you have any kind of restock date? I sent you an email as well.
