3 good choices for stock wheels IMO (ignoring what's "officially" called an R comp as some non R comps are as fast IMO):
1) stock Goodyears are a superb tire and available for $1380 CAD online (Quattrotire) which is about $1100 USD. That's CHEAP.
2) Cup2s are a very nice tire but not for the price and I am not convinced they are much (if any) faster then stockers (will know this weekend when I run them at a track I ran with stockers before).
3) RE71R in 295 square is liked by many and per some RL results they are very fast and last (per Provoste)
PS I've been faster on stocker vs my NT01 times in a C5 Z06 Vette, so ignoring "official" R comp designations, new gen "extreme summer" tires can be just as fast. Got 6 track days and 5G miles on Goodyears and they still have life left in them.
I think Provoste got a decent use out of RE71Rs before they corded (my next tire to try).
PSS I like NT01 but not as a dual use tire as they suck in a rain IMO.
