Default Z06 Tire Help

I'm buying some z06 polished wheels for my '99 coupe.
I'm going to have to eplace my tires also since I'm going up in wheel size.
stock z06 sizes are: 265/4-/17-f & 295/35/18-r
Does anyone know where I can find a deal on these size tires?
I bought pilot sports last time around and I can't afford that kind of $$
this time. I found some Kumho tires for about $180 apiece but they are
c5 sizes doesn't help me.

West Coast corvettes have a great deal on these sizes-kumo $800 set of four. Look for z06 tires.

You might want to check out TOYO PROXES T1S. They are a pretty high rated tire at a real decent price. There were a couple threads on these earlier this week. Great reviews from forum members. Unfortunately Tire Rack don't carry them yet. But they are available in Z06 sizes.
