Default Need Drap Radials...Already Searched!

Searched, but did not come up w/the answer I need.

My rear tire size now: 275/40/18

Discount tire direct does not make Nitto 555R Drag Radials. I definitely need drag radials, my continental’s spin like crazy.


What are some other options?

Thanks,
Jason

i'd see if you can squeeze a 305 nitto on there. That'd look good. I know they fit Z06 wheels, not sure on the factory wheels

Unless someone knows already. I can't buy the tires, then try to install them. So, does anyone know if I can?

Thanks,

Has anyone heard of these tires:


http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...31&rd=18&ar=35


They are 275/35/18...so I think they would still fit, right???


Thanks,
Jason

I personally would probably go with the Nitto's in your case. They'll last longer and get SOME wet traction. Those wont get any.
