Default What tires do you use?
I might upgrade wheels this summer, and I want to go either Y2K C5's or ZR1's. What would be the best tires to get? How wide of a tire can I go on the rear C5 wheels?

If you get the ZR1's or GS (same 11" width different offsets) a 315mm tire will fit no problem. I have even seen some running 17x11's with 315's at ALL FOUR corners for autocrossing!

I have ZR1 17x11 (+50mm GS offset) on all corners.
I had A032R, went to V700 Victoracers and back to A032R.

Why did you change back to 032Rs? Streetability reasons? The reason I ask is because I've ran two sets of 032Rs and I'm thinking about trying something else. How do the two compare?

I like my RII's . They are a far cry better then the OEM tires and YOK AVS and 520's that I have tried.

The V700 were not more grippier (seemed pretty much identical), but its grip deteriorated much faster. Also, they suck when it's wet... but they are not as noisy as the A032R... So I went back to A032R
