Well blew my rear Toyo Proxes (275/35ZR18) today so I need to get two new tires tomorrow. ONLY the rear ones for now. I wanted to go with the best "drag radial" made for 18" rims. Yes I know real "drag" radials are only in 17" rims or smaller, but what are the closest ones for 18's. What do you think are the best ones out their (i.e. soft compound/excellent traction pattern). I live in SCal where there is little rain/snow so this should not be a factor at all. So far I'm considering Toyo & Kumho. They both have the widest selection of tire sizes for 18's Toyo T1-S
 Kumho ECSTA Supra 712
 or Kumho ECSTA-MX, however I would have to get them 245/40/18 front and 275/35/18 rear. 
Nitto, BFGoodrich, & Yokohama don't seem to have much in 18" tires close to drag radials. Also, when I got My RacingHart M5 rims, They put 275/35ZR18 on them which fit great, but was wondering what is the most commonly used size here on the forum for 18's? Is it 255/35/18's? Any benifits of 255's over 275's? I have to say when It comes to tire sizes, I get somewhat lost. Lastly, I did notice on the blown rear tire that it was wearing more on the inside than the outside. Is there a Camber adjustment for the rear? I know that there is not one for the front, but was not sure about the back. Thanks for any info.
