I can't find a 305/40/20 or 315/40/20 anywhere.
The reason being is a tire that wide is strictly for performance only and a sidewall of 40mm is too tall. I'm with you though. For our trucks, we need a taller sidewall though. 305 and 315 widths are usually for Porches, Vipers, etc. Therefore, a 40 sidewall would look very awkward on a sports car sitting low to the ground with a taller tire. I guess is the gift and the curse, huh? Nitto more than likely dropped it from its lineup due to low sales and not a demand for it.
