Default what tires

hi, could anyone recommend a brand of tire for the rear of my 2001 zo6 vette. the car is only driven on the street in nice weather. it makes about 550rwhp and would like something a little more sticky. any input about brands and sizes would be great, also would it be a problem using stock tires on the front and not the rear?

How many miles do you need them to last or is that not a concern?

I know a couple of guys with high powered C5s and they like to run Nittos. Check the Southern California section I saw something in there about a discount deal on them.
