Default WTB: Road Racing TIRES 18"

Looking for some tires for 18's. I will be running 18x9.5 up front and 18x10.5 out back so I am looking for (2) 275/35/18 or 285/35/18 for up front and (2) 305/35/18 for out back. Not interested in any slicks, but a nice R compound tire such as the Nitto 555rii extreme, toyo ra1, or toyo r888. Something that will perform good on the road course that I can still drive on the street If you have something that will fit my bill please send me a PM, thanks!

Can you drive those on the street at all? How much life left in them? Thanks!

You could drive them back and forth to/from the track, but I wouldn't recommend using them as a street tire. The compound is way too soft for any tread life, rain performance is terrible (dangerous), and the tire is much more easily damaged than a street tire. The same applies to Hoosier R6s and Kumho V710s.
