Default Where to get 305/35-18's?

I'm getting new tires and am looking at either 305 or 315/35-18's for the rear on my c5. I need a street tire that can also work in the wet (car is a daily driver), but all i can seem to find in these sizes are drag radials. Any help?

295/35-18 is the stock Z06 size for the rear 10.5" wide wheel. Do you have wider rear wheels??

You can go to the Tire Rack website and search for that particular size, but the 295/35 will fit an 11" wide wheel. And there is a good selection of that size in high performance tires for both dry and wet use.

Yeah thats what i was planning on going with, but if i can i would love to have a wider tire. I looked at acouple friends setups and one had 295 the other 315 and i think the look i'm wanting is a 305. Yes a 305 or 315/35 will fit on the rear z06 wheels.

I use Toyo RA1's for street and track. Think Toyo r888 come in the same same sizes.

For street I run full tread 335x30x18 on c5 z06 rims that have been widened to 12"

For track I use shaved 305x35x18 on regular 10.5" wide c5 z06 rims.

I believe only R compounds and Drag Radials come in those sizes
