Default where else to find these...

Is there anybody else who carries these tires? I am wanting 275/35/18 and 315/30/18 but i want all four tires to be the same make. so far these are the best I have come up with, but is still slightly out of price range. Forget Michelins or pirellis they are extremly expensive. Does any other tire manufactuer make these sizes like sumitomo, kumho, fuzion, etc? PLEASE HELP I have a set of polished Z06 wheel waiting on tires!!!!!

I'm looking for the exact same size tires.... BF goodrich makes the KDW in 315/30/18 and 275/35/18 according to their website, BUT... the 315/30/18s wont be available until sometime in August supposedly. I had some on order with a local BFGoodrich dealer for a few weeks and then BFG sent word that they wouldn't be available till August.

The only other options I have found for 315/30/18 are Michelin Pilot Sports, Pilot Sport 2's, Pirelli Rossos, BFG Drag Radials, or Nitto Drag Radials (in 335/30/18).

Oh and I looked at that tire you linked and you do know that any "competition" tire that isn't a drag radial sucks unless you are using them for autocrossing only right?

by saying "sucks" you mean for everyday driving? I would figure that the ride quality wouldnt be no where near that of a regular passenger tire, but like you said there arent that many other choices, without spending a life savings!!!

I could get DR's to go in the rear, but what if I want to have fun on some twisties, those definetly arent the tires to be doing it on!

I have checked tirerack, the dont even have Nitto's! Just seem to find the same tires there as I do on Discount tire.

There is always the option of running 295's in the rear, but if I was going to do that, might as well run 275's and be able to rotate them.

Well I meant that they sucked for everyday use because they would wear extremely fast due to the soft compound. They would rock for autoX; nothing wrong with comp tires.
