front 18 inch owners

i've got 275/35/18 on the fronts. i've always run that since i've had them. i've got to buy new ones this week.

i don't know if it's possible or not, may not even make them, but has anyone run a 265/40/18 or something to that extent? or should i just go ahead with what i've already got.

seems like not as many people making 19's as before? no 295/35/19's any more in yoko avs sports?

unless someone says different, i guess i'll just go back with the 275/35/18's.
yoko avs sport makes a 265/35/18 but it's more than the 275's?

i can go with the 265's, is there any benefits to going with a smaller front rather than the 275's?

If the wheel is 9" of 9.5" a 275/35ZR18 is perfect. . . . Thats what I run on my red SS.

265's to me look to narrow on a 9.5 inch rim. I had them for awhile and got rid of them as fast as I could.

I run 275/40/18 n would have preferred 285. Definitely do not go any thinner than 275. I saw how a 245 looks on my 9.5 wheel and it looked like ****(way thinner than wheel)!
