What is available for autocross tires for the C6?

Luke@tirerack · 02-22-2005, 01:49 PM

if it was my car I would go with

255/35R18 PIRELLI P-ZERO CORSA
295/30R19 PIRELLI P-ZERO CORSA

but, I have not had a C6 here to measure it yet so, this is subject to change

Folks on the forum don't recommend the Pirellis for autocross. I checked with Hoosier and Kumho, they say they will be coming out with the A3S05 in a 305 30 19 and 315 30 19 and a V710 for the Corvette in the summer/fall this year. Can you keep the forum posted ?

I know many Corvette owners who do run the Pirelli Corsa tires..... and something coming out in the Fall doesn't really help this season now does it ?

Didn't see the 295 30 19 on the website, just 285 35 19, how much is that tire?

255/35r18 Pirelli P-zero Corsa $190.00
295/30r19 Pirelli P-zero Corsa $442.00

I use the G-force T/A Goodrich and they work quite nice for a lot less $$. Std. C6 sizes.

I think Kumho will have them (sizes) shortly as they told me they were being made 2 months ago ... not sure when they will be available.

I also ran them at VIR track and they did exceptionally well.

I don't care for and won't use the Perelli in this application.

I have a C6 and I have first hand experience.

I was considering the BFGs or Bridgestone S03s as an option. You must mean the GForce TA KDW? I don't see a 19 inch for the GForce TA.

One more note - what kind of tire pressues do you use? I read that the sidewalls are a bit soft.

Correct on the tire.

32 at VIR ... 4 mile road course at speed.

36 when I did the autox school ... we did 120 runs EACH .... in one day.

You have all the info now it is time to purchase

A fellow forum member just posted a set of the BFGs for sale. Can't wait to get them. Thanks for the advice "rbl".

I'm running the Pirelli P-Zero Corsas on a C6. 244/18, 285/19. Like them a lot.
