Default Autocross tires

I want to put new rubber on my '05 C6 Z51 stock rims to use this summer in autocross and on the track. What would you suggest, and where would you get them. I was on Tireracks website but did not see track tires, just road.

What kind of tire size combo will we need to keep the advanced handling system happy?

Toyo Proxes R888 their dot approved competion tires so you can use em on the street. Stock wheels will except 255X35X18 front and 295X30X19 rears thats the sizes you would have to purchase from Toyo. They are reasonably priced as competition tires go, check em out on Toyo's website.

Thank you. That's what we've been looking at. That size will not throw off the active handling, correct?

It shouldn't through off the active handling, lots of guys are running the ZO6 package 275X35X18 front and 325X30X19 rear for their widebody kits. I haven't heard any complaints.

Many work well but Mich PS2s are commonally regarded as the best
