Default HELP finding 305/30/19 tires!!!!

I have been looking for this size rear tire for my new 19x11 ZO6 style wheels but could only find them in the Perelli brand. Does anyone out there have these same size wheels on the back of there C5 with a different brand besides Perelli? I really wanted a drag radial type tire like Nitto or BFG but I think it will not be possible.

Any input will be helpfull.

Its not possible.

I have 19" CCWs and the 305/30 Pirelli is your best bet.

You could also go with a 295 Pilot Sport or Yokohama but it wont hook much better.

If you are looking for straight line traction, gonna have to stick with 18s.

I was affraid that was gonna be the answer, problem is I already bought the wheels. Oh well just gonna have to buy the Perelli's and deal with it. But It's hard to beleive that only one tire manuf. makes this size.

thanks

Also, how is the traction of the perelli tire? Is it a pretty soft compound? I am sure anything will be better than my bald OEM EMT's at this point but I am into drag racing it.

its great for corners but it pretty much sucks for straight line sticky if you have any mods at all
