Does anyone make an 18" DR?
Does anyone make an 18" DR? Why can I not find these? I know MT and others makes a 275/40/17 and if that works, why wouldnt an 18? The side wall would be the same height correct? a 40 series tire with the same width should be the same sidewall height no matter what size rim. Just the overall tire height would be taller.
Am I totally screwed up on this or not?

I have Michelin Pilot Sports right now. How much more traction will I get with a DR in the same size? I know a DR has MUCH more traction normally, but with this tire size there is just no sidewall to work with.
I can get the Pilot Sports in a 40 series tire (instead of a 35), would that help my traction at all? Or just go DR's and be done with it?
Has anyone run the BFG's and the Nitto DR's and compared them both?

My car would be too dangerous to drive and they can't let me do that. They're self proclaimed experts over there. Some sales guy is going to tell me what I should do with my car and what tires my car needs.
They weren't drag radials were they, and they wanted you to put them up front?
