I have 17"x 9.5"F and 17"x11"R Corvette Grand Sport wheels. Anyone know which tires I should opt for? I want them good for street and some track, I'd appreciate help, Thanks a lot.

I've had two sets of Yokohama 032Rs and I like them. They are a DOT race tire so there are some compromises. They are loud,,, BFG Mudgrip loud. They will not last long on the street, expect no more than around 10-15K miles from them.
You might try the BFG KDs, they are a street tire that can be used on the track rather than the 032Rs that are a race tire that can be used on the street. I pretty much in the same bout as I'm looking to get some new tire soon but would really like to experiment a bit. Only problem experimentation suxs if it ends up being the wrong decision and I just spent 750-1000 bucks on tires. I've spent alot of time surfing around on TireRac.com |

If the Nitto 555R2 (not the 555 or 555R) is out in 315 yet, that might be a good choice (275f/315r).
