18'' 513M with RE71R

Is anyone running the RE71R with their stock 18''?

Does anyone have problems running these sizes? These will see some track times.

Rear: 285/30/18
Front: 275/35 or 265/35

Want to order a set in 2 weeks.

I would have also wanted RE71Rs or RE11s for an 18" fitment. However, the sizes available are just a little short overall. Also, not quite ready to move into al true R-comp.

So some other options may in 265/35-18 front and 285/35-18 rear:

I wouldn't go with 285/30 anything. The ride is horrible and they aren't better than those with a bigger sidewall. Since you have 18s I would only go with 285/40.

255/40 or 265/40 front will work just fine.

I'm running a 275/35/18 square with the re-71R tires. The fitment is perfect and the grip is unreal. On stock power you shouldn't have a problem on a circuit with these tires. They hook up so well under power
