Default Are Kuhmo V700's discontunued? What other 335/30/18 option?

My car has been down so long not only are 2 of the Race shops I bought stuff from out of business, but it looks like Kuhmo don't do the V700 in 335/30/18 any more.

The landscape sure has changed in 2 1/2 years.

Other than full slicks (from Kuhmo and Hoosier) what other sticky semi treaded tire options are there in 335/30/18 out there?

Which models are being used? Do Toy still do their treaded DOT race tires?

Any forum vendors able to offer up any of these options in 18" versions?

The issue seems to be trying to get 305/30/18 and 335/30/18 sets.

Lots of 17" and 19" options, but rather slim pickings in 18"

Yeah, the BFG's are called R1's (40 Treadwear) and the Goodyears are called Eagle RS (AC).

I still fondly remember that experiment with GYSC Fiorano's for the F50. What was that, wheel spin at 120?
