Default Best tires?

I am ordering 18 inch Z06 wheels with a +53mm offset 18x9.5 for the front and 10.5's in the back and I want to know what would be the best tires to get I want really good traction, reasonably good tread wear and not too much noise but I need them to come in 295/35/18 and 275/35/18. Any opinions on tires?

Thanks,
Chris

If you can deal with putting a 285/35R18 tire in the rear, Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 tires are the best overall street tire I've ever used. They're quiet (even in 315/35 size), they stick like glue in dry or wet weather (emphasis on wet-these things don't even notice the rain), the tread looks awsome, and they wear slowly and evenly (aggressive street driving no less). Compared to Potenza S0-3 Pole Position and G-Force T/A KD, they're a little cheaper, and perform just as good (if not better) on dry pavement and perform much better on wet roads. They also wear a lot slower.
