Default launch hero?

I'm looking for new rear tires and plan on getting 275/35/19. Do stopping distances correlate with how well a tire hooks up on launch? So, if I look for the tire with the shortest stopping distance which is a straight line test that depends purely on straight line gripping force will the best tire in braking distance also be the best "launcher"? I will not be racing this car, so I feel that any of the UHP summer tires would be excellent in other performance areas such as wet handling and noise etc. What I'd really like is the superstar for launch traction to limit slip/wheel spin in my SRT6 without having to install a limited slip differential. thanks guys!
