Tire Recommendations for 06 Vette

So I am planning to take my dad's corvette on the cruise this year with my car missing parts.

I heard like a month ago he was getting new tires and he said he was putting the Michelin Pilot super sports on there. I was pumped as I have heard awesome things about them, even considering them for the evo.

Found out this morning that they are still back ordered at this point with no due date in sight. Well my dad said the rears are basically slicks cause his dumb ass has been burning them up knowing he was getting new tires.

The sizes factor are these:

245/40/18 front
285/35/19 rear

I think its the rears that are backordered as tirerack shows them as that as well.

Thoughts?

Any compareable tires? I am not coming up with too much but I am not a tire guru.

Should he look at going a bit wider than factory perhaps?

He wants a pure summer tire but nothing track ready, something that will get 15-20k miles with ease I would think.

Any help is appreciated, would rather not have a car with shit tires for the cruise, don't need to end up in the ditch

Thanks!
