335/ 30-18 Pirelli or Michelin tire availability?

[69hugger]

Does anyone know of an available pair of P Zero Rosso or PS-2's in this size? I am told by Tire Rack & Discount Tire the Michelins are discontinued & the Pirellis are on B/O. Also need a pair of 245/40-18, but those seem to be more readily available.

Anyone know of a dealer or disty that has any in stock?
I am running BFG Rivals & want more of a street tire.

Thanks for any help!!

I can't help you with either of those brands, but what about Falken Azenis RT615K? I was pretty happy with those as street tires that also did track events. And it should be available in your sizes.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm afraid they'll give me the same problem as the Rivals. Which is the fronts are sandblasting the side of my car because the rubber is so sticky.

Thanks though.

I know this isn't the cheap answer.

Go to 19s in the rear and run Michelin Pilot Super Sports. 325 and 345 19s aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

I misread your post too. The Falken's don't come in 335's... Somehow I read 315's when I read that.

The Rival's seem to be sticker / softer than the Falken's. The Falken's definitely threw up rocks and caused chips when I was tracking the car, the street didn't see too bad.

Good luck with the search!

Donny,
Thought of that, but I have Fikse wheels, and they tell me my centers won't accept 19" hoops, so I'd have to start over on wheels, at least the rears. Still, may look at that more closely after summer. I was hoping to just find a couple tires in 18"....

so Im reading this, and in the market for new wheels and tires for my car.

I checked tirerack, discount tire, amazon and a few other places and the only 335/30/18 tire I can really fine are the Nitto Drag radials..

I was hoping to get the BFG's rivals, but they are back ordered every where I look..

Should I go with the 19" wheel for better tire selection? 335-25-19?

sorry to hi jack 69 hugger

I would not run a 25 tire, not enough sidewall for our cars in my opinion.

Not a problem... for the same reason, I am also considering other sizes. Size opinions are welcome.

Thanks Don, I'm far from a expert on this, appreciate the advice.
