Default Does MT make DRs for 18" wheels?

I have C5 wheels and was looking for some MT 275/40/18 and can't find 'em on their site. If they don't what tires have others gone with?

I don't think M/T makes 18" drag radials, Nitto and BFG are the 2 most popular, but IMO 18 DRs aren't worth much more traction anyway

yes they do, they just came out.

^ I also strongly disagree with the above. My 18" BFG DR's were night and day over my 18" street tires. Hooked a TON better, no comparison... first hand experience

My car had these C5 wheels on it when I bought it. I measured across the rim and it's about 10 inches, but there are fuzion 275s mounted on there right now. Will the 305/30s work?

Awesome. I am keeping the C6 wheels for sure now. 18" MT Street Radials are it. Gonna be a street car after all.
