Nitto is about to release 18" Drag radials, supposedly, so you may not have to worry about using fronts on the backs unless you just want to. Food for thought.

RandyB...they already have a 305/45/18 that's much too big for the Z. Are you saying that they are coming out w/a 305/35/18 or something similar???

I'm not sure if they are planning a shorter aspect ratio tire than the one you mentioned. I guess that would be pretty tall, huh? We can hope, I guess.

What about BFG KD's? Do they hook better than the stock Supercar tires? I know they make the 295/35/18 for the Panoz Roadster rear.
