Tire Advice.. and your what are you running?

Hey guys! Im ordering Replica z28 rims soon 20x10 by 20x11 going for 285/315.

Im wondering whats your opinion on the best front and rear tires?
Debating on going either for the nitto nt05r or the toyo r888rs any advice?

Also whats are you guys running for fronts?

275 or 285 better for front?

I will be taking my car to the strip a few times but mostly "going" to mexico to race

Michelin Pilot Super Sports... Best all around tire for the Camaro (IMO).

Expensive but if you don't track it they should last 60k, I get 30-35k and 8-10 track days out of a set.

Pure racing tire, most sanctioned racing entities don't allow them (under 200 utqg), so they are only good for 'non racing' track day.

You will be lucky to get 10-15k miles out of a set.

Edit - If you are looking for a tire of that level look at the BFG Rival (forget which version), most top Camaro racers run that.

I am running the Toyo Proxes T1 Sport 285/35/20. So far they are doing great.
