I had a lengthy conversion with a Tire Rack rep and in the end, based on the vehicle GAWR of the front axle being 2249, he stated the Toyo RR 275/35/18 tire would be fine/safe. I'm likely to purchase these, but will probably carry them in the back seat in this fashion -> https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=656370

Best to stick with > 100TW tires if you are driving them to the track IMHO.
I'd only use these in dry weather. Given the limited number of heat cycles I will likely not drive on them to/from the track, which I was hoping to avoid...

Yes, here -> https://www.m3post.com/forums/showth...1192408&page=3

I will be using the EC-7's as well, 18x10 et25 (f) and 18x11 et44 (r) with either a 12 or 15mm spacer. I'd just rather not have to modify the rear of the car at this time to fit the 305/35/18 NT01.
