Re: What kind of tires should I get?
GS-D3's don't come big enough for Z06 wheels... I love Kumho MXs and run them on my CCWs and stockers for track duty. They do fantastic in the rain, great at auto-x, and hold up very well on the road course until you overheat them.
I've got like 20k on my first set of fronts that came on my CCWs and they're great, the rears will last as long as you want them to
They're priced great, but you're not compromising anything in performance.
One bad thing... after you heat cycle them a bunch they can vibrate some on the highway. What I mean is that my car can feel like the wheels are slightly out of balance, but it's the tires. After running them at VIR and basically melting them, they get cupped... it's the nature of running the tire so hard. You'll probably never put them through the stress I do (drag racing won't) so you'll be fine.

Thanks for the information guys. I think I'll just be getting the MX's. I've heard many good things from others as well and I like the way they look and the way they are priced.
