295/35/18 track tires

Any suggestions for this tire size for track days. BFG Rivals are unavailable as we speak and have been so far this year. Struggling to find options suited for road course driving.

R888's maybe? NASA Mid-South usually has group buys on those towards the end of the year, and a few guys running those are happy with them. Though the closest size they have is 295/30/18

Why 295/35/18?

I have 275/40/18 NT01s and the car feels like its rolling on fly-paper...

I have 295/35/18 Nitto NT05's on standby but I only bought them because they were dirt cheap. They get greasy very quickly on track

285/35/18 RS3 if a 10" wheel, 315/30/18 Rival if an 11.

I don't like the NT01 or R888. Not "faster" enough to justify the cost over the 200TW tires, and nowhere near fast enough to contend with a race tire in a competition event.

Thanks for all of you help guys. Hammer down!

There is a great deal on some used 295/35/18 Rivals in the Misc. Parts sections
