Default Kumho V710 alternatives?

Well, I guess like everyone else, I can't locate a set of rear Kumho V710s in 315/35/18 anywhere. I got a set of front tires (275/40/17), but need the rears to be able to run them. Tire Rack is out, and says they have no idea when they might have more in.

So, any alternatives that I can run with the fronts, that won't kill me or the car's performance? Tire Rack has 285/30/18's that would fit the rear. Too undersized? Obviously, I'd like to have the 315s, and nothing else listed between the 285 and 315 (a 305 would be nice, but not available). Any other Kumhos that I could run with the 710s up front? I don't like mixing brands/models of tires, but it looks like its mix and match or run the street tires for a while longer.



Thanks Gang. Any suggestions welcome.

p.s. Unfortunately, I missed out on the great 315/35 tire give-away by a few minutes. He who hesitates, and all that.

Larry, Thanks for the offer, but I think the 335's will be too wide. My rear rims are only 10.5". I think I'd need more like 11.5 or 12 for a 335.

David, you have a PM.

That's what I was talking about -- I missed out on that by a few minutes. Others beat me to it. Oh well.
