Getting desperate...need 2 R888R 305/35ZR18's

[NOLATom]

Doesn't appear that anyone is carrying these. If anyone knows where to buy some from let me know, I need them asap. I have an event in two weeks.

Thanks!

305/30/18 R888R are available now, but if you're looking for 305/35/18 then you're probably looking for the later R888.

Another option in 305/35/18 includes Nitto NT01

After my post, I found on the Toyo site that they don't make the 35 anymore. I bought those APEX EC-7 rims based off of the blog they wrote and they were pretty detailed about what tire would work. So, with the 30, I guess it might affect the DCT from what I read. Any thoughts on it?

The 30 profile in the rear is too short, the exact Overall Diameter of the R888R in 305 and 315 aren't provided, but they estimated 25.44, which would make the rear slightly shorter than the front.

275/35/18 and 305/35/18 is a perfect spec in respect to the OEM stagger. I don't recommend running mix compound, the ideal solution would be to try to swap the tires if they have not been mounted yet and order NT01 or NT05 in the recommended sizes mentioned since these are the next comparable tire to the R888. Nitto is a subsidiary of Toyo

I went ahead and ordered the Nitto NT01's last night. They should be here in 3 days. With Nitto being a sub of Toyo, I wonder why tirerack doesn't sell them. I was hoping to get the heat cycling done by ordering through them. I didn't see the heat cycling as an option by anyone selling the Nittos.
