Default sticky 19" tire recommendation for 650rw

I'm currently running a set of 18" ccw classics and nitto nto1 tires on all 4 corners. I have no complaints tires are great through turns and dead hooks 2nd gear in the warmer months.

I have been tempted to pick up new wheels ccw sp500s 18" front and would use my almost new nt01s on the front. I would like a 19" rear rim this time around and for the life of me can't find a tire that will still corner, and also provide as much traction as my current set up. Looking to stay at or under a 11.5" rear rim. Staying away from widened fenders or mini tubbing.
