Default Rear Tires for a 2014 Z51

I'm currently running the stock tires that came with the car 285/30/zr20. I'm looking for a better tire that hooks. Can anyone recommend one? Vette is now pushing 700HP.

Thanks!

Look at Michelin pss non runflates in 295/30/20 or 305/30/20. They seem to have the widest contact patch width, I think 11.6 and 11.8 respectively. The OEM tires are 11.2

Pilot Sport PS2's.
Running 305/35/20's on my 15 Z51.
Really hook up.
Rub on drivers side, cleared by cutting away some of plastic liner.

I don’t think I’ve seen pics of larger/wider tires on stock rims. Take pics if you do. Curious on how that looks.

I know guys will get aftermarket rims one inch wider. Then put on 305s

You have any pics? Side, rear, looking up/down the side of the car?

Thrilled, would love to see pics on how those tires look on you rims. This may be something I’d be interested in.
