Default recommend me a good rear tire set up!!

hi guys I'm in the market to buying some new rear wheels. my car is putting down 430whp and have these crappy stock sized good year on my base c6. i want to upgrade on size as well and plan on going to 305 35 19 . i don't really mind in running a drag radial for more traction which is really the reason why I'm in the market for new tires!. but help me out guys i need some recommendations on what you all think i should go with!! thanks

Bridgestone Potenza RE-11's decent grip in the wet and great traction in the dry. I'm making 400whp and it sticks great.

I went from Goodyear eagle F1's to nitto invos because it's my daily and so far I'm pretty impressed with their improvement. much stickier.

Search around on the forum and you'll find the answer you're looking for. Bottom line is these are the most popular tires for daily driving...

Budget: Nitto Invo
Best: Michelin Pilot Super Sports (Non-Run Flat)
Drag Radial: Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial (305/35/19)
