Default Autocross Race Tires - C6

What brand and size tires are the serious SCCA autocrossers running in Stock class nowadays? I'm having trouble finding my favorite tires (V710's) in sizes to fit the rear OEM wheels on a C6. Do other brands fit better?

Any help appreciated. Thanks much.

315 front and 345 rear A6 I believe. Maybe only 295 front...I'm a lowly c5 guy so not sure.

Either 295 or 315 will work on the front.

You'll need Hoosiers. Don't think Kumho makes a 19 inch tire.

295 or 315 on an 18x8.5? 345 on a 19x10? Sure you guys aren't talking C6 Z06?

I think it might be 275 front, no clue on the rear but somewhere in the 315 range would make sense for the non Z C6 guys.

And if you want to be competitive, you basically have to run the A6 these days, unless Kumho gives you tires. Check the results from last year's nationals, about 12:1 A6 to V710.
