I personally prefer 17s over the 18s but I fully understand why some choose to go with an 18" DR.

alamo1974,
I've been trying to find a set for my 18x10.5 rims for several months now. After ZERO luck and estimated shipping dates as far off as August, I'm considering plan B.
I'd say the M/T is optimal with compound, design and diameter. 2nd best might be the similar BFG 295 3rd the shorter and wider BFG 315.
I put together this chart for my car which should run ~135mph at the dragstrip. Since I'd like to shift at 6k and use all of 4th, the M/T looks perfect.
If I can't find them in the next month or so, I'll go with the P295/35 BFG.
Regards,
Scott
