Corvette tires not A6/710?

Post by Bob Pl »

I need some tires for a track day and don't want to use the Dot R's. The North Island Vintage Race circuit (San Diego). Concrete/flat.

What are you Vette guys using in SK1?

Z06 sizes?

T1 guys?

I just put Yok Advan AD08's on the Z and they're super grippy... Really happy w/ them. :D

I just put Bridgstone RE11's on the C6. They have sizes Kumho doesn't offer. Haven't tried them in competition yet.
Got them from Steve at c2racers.net.

Bob,

I have four V710 Kumho 17" front tires from my Z06 that I will give you if you want. Probably around 60-80 runs on each tire. I know that doesn't solve your rear tire issue, but it may help. I was just going to get rid of them....too many tires in the garage. Plenty of life on the wear indicators (small holes).

I looked on TR & they don't seem to make c5z sizes. 255x17x40 seems too small. Same rear, 265/35 or /40 x18.

Anyone on Sumi these days? Really great price & remember this is 1 DE then street use thereafter.

Tires have to measure 4/32 min going out of pits.
