Default C5 Z06 size tires

Has anyone shopped for Z06 tires lately?? I'm looking now and availability is almost non existent in actual Z06 size.

Have you looked at going a size or two bigger? for example 275 front and 295 rear?

No issues with the AH / TC? I'm wanting to go this same route, only with Continental Extreme Contact Sport 2's, but the biggest concern is the front-rear difference is only 0.47". LMK! Thanks!
