Default Tires

Looking to purchase tires for my 02 Z06. Want to get Bridgestone Potensa 760 Sport or Nitto Nt 05. Have not found anyplace that has a complete set. All have the fronts (275/40/17) but do not have the rears (295/35/18). Have been searching for a month or more. Rear tires have been on backorder with a constantly changing available date. Has anyone been able to get a set of these tires? Plan to use the tires for street and road course. Thanks,

Gene

Just picked up a set of Bridgestones from Tire Rack. I had to call them every few days to nail down when a shipment would arrive.

So far I am pleased with these tires.
