What size did you order?

I have not ordered anything. If 235/40R18 were available, I'd get the same tires. I'd worry about even more under-steer with 215's in front. I don't know why they stopped making this size - at least it's not on TireRack.

Looks like simple tire has these. I need to verify. (LM-35)

I like Tire Rack but if they don't carry it, they don't think it exists.

Bridgestone still makes the LM-32 235/40R18 Blizzak.

I checked around and ordered mine from Firestone Complete Auto Care last January.

I ran Blizzaks on my 11 inch summer twists & really would NOT recommend this set up, they look over stretched, have massive road noise (whatever pressure you inflate them too) and dont grip well either

Yeah. I'll agree with that. A 275 is within spec on an 11 inch but it doesn't like it. Did you find a better tire or did you go down to a 10? I'm so loyal to Blizzak I had to try.

{Edit: Lol. I see you answered that. Really wanted to avoid doing the spacer swap every season. Seems inevitable.}
