Good autocross tire/performance tire

Recommended Posts

I have a Camaro with 714 hp and the PZero's on it now just do not handle the hp well. My prior Camaro I used NT05's and they were great for straight line acceleration but not on an autocross track. I am seeking recommendations for a tire that would be okay to drive on the street and the track. I do not care about tire life. Tire size options:

 

Front:

275/40/20

285/40/20

285/35/20

 

Rear:

315/35/20

 

Note images show car with 22's but these tires are for another set of 20's.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Toyo R888's come close to size you are looking for, the rears are 30 instead of 35. I am switching to them from Mich PSS for my track days next season. I think you are in AZ so you should be able to use them on street without too much worry about rain or cold.

Yes, they have two sizes in 20":

front: 285/35/20 27.7 tall compared to 28.7 stock

rear: 315/30/20 28 tall compared to 28.7 stock

 

Do you think I should worry about the wall size difference that 40 front/35 rear? That is my only concern otherwise these would be perfect! I am lowering the car one inch (different springs) so that will help in the appearance since overall diameter is less.

Here is that exact tire setup on a 2015 camaro, it looks great.

Car looks great! Okay, that is what I am going with! Did you lower the car and if so what did you go with? When you are ready to sell your car please PM me! Love the Brembo's!

haha Thanks, but not my car. Pretty sure it's stock z28 suspension (which is lower than your ZL1 by about an inch as I recall)
