A 315/30/20 tire is only 0.4% larger in diameter then the stock size but moving to a 305/35/20 tire increases the diameter by 4.4% which is 1.2 inches taller.
27.2” stock 28.4” with the 35. No idea how you used that profile tire safely.
If your not making tons of power now then the nitto 305/30/20 is fine for now. Once you start making anything really past 700 any tire on the street except a real drag radial isn’t really going to work. Neither the r888 or 555r2 will hold at my power level on launch on the street. Not like I launch on the street anyway. They will hold for 60-130 pulls only when hot and when roads are warm and ambient is at least 50F, otherwise it’s going sideways.

Likely because he has a SS and the factory fronts are 27.7" tall. ZL1's run shorter tires then the SS.
No tire is going to hook period at your power level on the street without some sort of prep from a dig. That includes Mickey Thompson ET-R or Slicks...I agree 700whp is about the limit for any kind of dig traction with any of these tires on the street.
Either way the 555r2 is a great all around tire. It's enough tire to get into the 9.90's @ 140 at prepped track. That is what Justin Keith ran in his intake, tune, 305/30/20 555r2 setup on his C7 ZR1.
