I'm running 18" Shelby's with 335/30's and 275/40's. Suddenly, I cannot find a manufacturer in those sizes. Michelin no longer makes a tire that wide. I ordered a set of Pirelli's and took them up to discount tire and they won't even mount them because the load index for the front on this car has to be a 98 and these are a 95. Finding a 275/35/18 with a load index of 98 or higher isn't an issue. But finding one that also makes a 335/30 is impossible. What are you guys that have 18's running for tires?

I guess I could just take the tires and wheels up and if they ask tell them it's a custom rod or something. I just hate to lie about what it's going on. Bad carma...
