Question Tire Advice

Hello and thanks for having a new member!

I am running on 15 inch rims, and I am not ready to go larger yet. I have been searching for a while, this is my weekend car, and I am not racing it on a closed track, I may at some point, but in general this will be a street car, and some spirited mountain/coastal roads, which I to try to drive HARD on. Currently I am running 235x60x15 front and 275x60 15 rear. I can drop to 50 series if needbe, but I want to keep the classic musclecar look.

I am more interested in corners than off the line launching, I have an FE with a little over 500lb/ft torque so barring strip tires I know I will not hook up if I stand on it off the line. So descent off the line, and better cornering is my concern.

Also, I am not looking for a 25k plus mile tire, 7k-15k is fine as I dont put a lot of miles on it and I would prefer handling over longevity.

Currently I am looking at the following:

Avon CR6ZZ's
Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T

I was also considering Toyo R888r but front only.

Let me know your thoughts all.

CYA!
