I think you will be fine...I'm planning on running 305/35/18 or 315/30/18 square on my next set of tires. Go big or go home!!!

315/30-18 is only 25.4" diameter though. You'd want 315/35-18 which is 26.7, right where the Z wants em. Only one I know of in that size is Toyo Proxes TQ though so you'd have to be cool with drag radials. Unless you know of others...

Roger that! The difference for me...I'm not doing straight lines so the decision is to run a narrower and taller tire or go with a shorter and wider tire for tracking. Choices are very limited so my next decision will be a toss of the the coin, 305's to get the height or 315's for a wider contact patch.

Hence the problem. I need something equivalent to an RE11 or PSS for daily and can't get anything remotely close in 18's anymore.
