BFG makes them. A friend had them on his Z06 but didn't like the amount of dirt/rocks they throw up.

Yeah the new BFG DR for the 18s is a freakin hoss!!! Buddy put them on his 440 hp zo6 and it stuck like glue. Not as good as a ET Steet, but good enough for the street. Before he has to short shift into 2nd but w/ the new BFGs he didn't have to anymore. Barely even chirped!!!

tires.com has the Nitto 305/45/18's for $242, so you can save a few bucks. They ship very quickly, too. I had real good luck with them so Im gonna get my 315/35/17s 555rs from them.
