My proposed setup..........comments
I know 17" have their benefits, but I need to run 18" on all 4, and have OEM MAG wheels to use.
Looking at all the recent and history threads, research and pricing.......I am looking at:
285/30/18 R6 Hoosier front
295/30/18 R6 Hoosier rear
Tell me what ya think or a better tire to go on the 18 x 9.5 wheel and why

Personally, I love the Kumho V710s. I'm not sure if they are making those sizes yet, but if they are, I doubt you'll do better. The only way to know for sure is to test them both and see which you like more.
Why do you HAVE TO run 18" wheels? Bigger brakes???
You can run 275s or 315s all around on a 17" wheel and get tons of cheap tires (scrubs). You could even pick up a set of used 17" wheels and also have your 18". Mount a set of Hoosiers on one and Kumhos on the other and do some back to back testing. That's the only real way to know for sure.
Good luck!!

Thanks for the feedback.
Yep, bigger brakes and to fit on 2 other C5s
My other option is to run V710 285/30/18s on all 4 corners........
