Seeking advice re: best choice drag tires
Background info: 2015 Z51 A8, 515 rwhp
Best time on stock tires: 11.37 @ 127 mph, 60 foot= 1.89 ( this was done on the street, measured
with a Dragy)
I have an extra set of stock wheels (19/20) that I want to fit a set of tires on with the objective of getting a sub 11
second time. Looking for recommendations from those with experience on this issue. If I achieve my goal I will in all likelyhood remove them and return to the stock configuration. So they will not get much use.

No good tire in a 20 inch that I can truly say this one will hook you up on the track. Get you a lite set of forged rims for the rear best hook up on a D/R dot tire for me was a Hoosier D/R in a 16 inch rim. Now for a track tire only was a 275x50x15 in a non dot MT rear tire on a 10 inch rim and bead lock also.. Robert

If you want to stick with a 20 then you could do the 285/30/20 MT ET Street S/S... Not to Robert's point it is still a 20 inch wheel but it's a sticky damn tire. Or if you wanted something else in a 20 you could do the R888R from toyo.
Now.....if you want to spend some more money would could buy a set of 18s and do the 305/35/18 MT ET Street S/S. That will be the best setup for your power level.
I have a set of Forgeline 18s with brand new 305/35/18s on them I'd be willing to sell for the right price.

At your power level 20" radials should work. .Make sure you stay as close to OEM tire height as possible with the tire you choose. I use 305/35-18 ET street SS radials on 18x12 Forgestars on my GS and like the setup so you could probably go narrower on the Stingray. If your tuner set you up properly you should be able to net mid 1.5 60fts consistently launching off idle with stock converter stock cam.
