Default Tire Selection

I'm looking to get new tires all around. It's a 1994 Camaro Z28 6-speed. What do you believe I should go with? It's going to be my daily driver but ride quality is not a concern. The Z will be autocrossed, drag race, and generally driven very aggresively. Handling and traction are very important. These tires will be driven in the sun, rain, ice and snow. Pretty much asking for the perfect tire. Let me know your opinions. These will be mounted on the stock wheels. Should I go with the stock size, or would a slight adjustment be advantageous? Thanks

A 255/50ZR16 is a nice upgrade over the stock 245's. As for tire a lot depends on your budget.

Nice inexpensive tires are your Kuhmo's, Fusion's and Avon's.

High end is your Goodyear GSD3's

I agree except that he says he will be driving his car in the ice/snow. Please correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the D3's summer only tires? I know my BFG KDW2's state "summer only".
