My ZL1 is a summer only car .If money was no problem what is the best hi performance street tire to use on stock ZL1 wheels ? . I am looking for something that will keep my back end on the ground . I am putting 618 HP at the wheels and the stock tires are all over the place

Probably toyo r888R, I run Michelin cup 2's and am verry happy they have the proper load rating. My buddy just upgraded to tthe ttoyos and says they are even better than cup2

Drag radial: Mickey ET Street or NT05R.
Drag slick: Mickey R or M&H Racemaster or Hoosier.
High performance road course: R888R or SC2. But I’d say R888Rs will perform much better especially for lateral acceleration.
Super high performance road course (race slicks basically): Hoosier R7/A7. Few other tires compete.

OP as you shop for tires the website or sales person might say we don't have those in your size. You'll want to go to 315 width, wider than stock rears anyhow so search by size not vehicle.
