Sticky Tire Options For Stock Wheels
Of course most f-bodys start with 16x8 wheels and its not the best starting point. But Im going to rock it for now. I know the 255/50/16 MT ET Street Radials fit and the 245/50/16 Nittos fit. Are there any other options out there?

OP have you looked into hoosier DOT drag radials in 255/50/16? I have a spare set of stock wheels I'm going to get these tires for as track just to use at the track.

In my humble opinion and experience, it is a waste of time trying to find one tire to do it all. Buy a set of street tires that will last and run well in rain for your DD needs. Have a extra set of wheels for a dedicated set of Mickey Thompsons or Hoosiers for when you go to the track. I have put Nitto nt05r's and Toyo TQ's on DD's and I was constantly replacing them and wishing I had more tire at the track.

Has anyone out there tried the new Pirelli PZero Trofeo R's?? With a price tag at over 2 grand a set Im not to interested in seeing how they perform. Reading says they aren't a good tire for the street but great for the track being that they are supposed to be super sticky. I'll be waiting on that review*

With their stiff/short sidewalls, those tires would probably lose 60' time for most on here.

Yea I dont care about the road course. And Im also not concerned with a street tire that doesnt do well at the track(hence the thread title).
