Default Best Dry Street Tire on C5?

Looking for suggestions on the best dry weather street tire for a C5. I am running CCWs 19 inches all around on pirelli p zeros. I think these tires are awesome in terms of there hold on the road. I am not concerned about the life of the tire or its wet weather performance.

I was looking at Michelin PS2s and Nitto 555s as possible substitutes. Any better out there? Thanks for your help.

a couple of the front runners are

Pilot Sport PS2

thanks luke. i am running 19x10 in the front and 19x11 in the rears. right now i have 275/30/19 and 305/30/19. i have found these sizes hard to come by, particularly the rears. is there wiggle room into a 295 or 315 you think? It looks like the Potenza RE01R are only made up through 275s. Is that accurate?
