For those waiting on RE-71's in 285/30/18
I just received notification from Tire Rack that they are in stock and my pre-order shipped today. I should have the new shoes Friday. I will update this thread with pictures on C5Z06 rears (square) when they are mounted up.
If you want these tires I suggest you get them now before they sell out.

Mine shipped and are to be in Friday, but I was told the entire first batch at Tirerack is already sold out. Next batch in May. You better get on the list if you want them...

I just got my tirerack flyer and it has the same $70 coupon as last year advertised on the Bridgestone page.
We won't know for sure if the RE71R will be part of the promotion for a few more days, but it was last year. Based on that, I'm waiting until April 1st (ironically April fools day) to see if the coupon will work on the RE71R.

I ordered mine on 3/2 and it showed 4/1 as a ship date. It then went to 4/7, then suddenly showed 5/7. I called and they said mine was still on track to ship 4/7, but that the first run of tires was sold out so the 5/7 date was the next expected delivery...of course I got word on Wednesday 3/23 that they were in and would ship 3/24, go figure. If you need a set soon, I am just suggesting you may want to get an order in soon. The dates are obviously all over the place right now.

I still have some life in last years 275 and I kept them wrapped and in warm storage. They should be good for the first events should there be any significant delay. All the April events are shake downs up here and still run the possibility of being cancelled due to weather... I got 8" of snow here on the first day of Spring.

Tirerack lists the diameters... 275 = 25.6, 285 = 24.8. That's a pretty substantial difference in the opposite direction of OEM. I'm guessing your trying to run 275 in front and 285 in rear.
I'll take picks of the 275's on the 10.5 and then the 285's on same 10.5's when I get mine. I won't be able to help on the 9.5 wheel because I don't have one laying around.
