The C5 Z06 has just ONE tire choice in size, and it's often out of stock.

To get tires for it last time I got DOT legal track tires dropping down a 10mm on the front size.

What some do on these cars is pick up a second set of rear wheels and run rear tires all the way 'round.

I wanted to go with the Pirelli P7 Classics, identical to what came on the car from the factory but they were backordered across the country for months.
