The better question to ask is what tires you can get in those sizes... The selection is very limited unfortunately.
Lately I have been contemplating the Toyo 888Rs...

325/30R19s GY on CCW 19x11 worked on my C6. 295/35R19 BFG KDW2s now on R (275/35R18 F) a much better tire.
PowerLabs is right that alignment etc. can make a difference, add a litte camber it will tilt the tire in on the top.

I am very close to getting some Toyo R888's after seeing setxws6's 20-180 MPH run video with them. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/6...LS2_181339.htm
305/30/19 Toyos will fit on a stock size coupe wheel as will 305/30/19 Nitto Invos if you can find them.

You and me both... But what tire are you going to run up front?

I ran Michelin PS2 305/30-19 on the rear and 275/35-18 on the front using stock wheels. They fit well and are a giant step above the OEM Goodyears.
Michelin makes a 315/30-19, but only in the Pilot Sport Cup race tire.
Remember to maintain close to the stock stagger or your active handling will interfere.

I think the stock tires at 26.9" tall barely fill the wheel well so I cant see running anything shorter like a 305/30 at 26.2" new or a r-compound (less tread height) 315/30 at 26.1" new.
