next best alternative is the Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R in 265/35-18.
All the 275/35-18 tires are slower ...
EDIT: I define street tire as 140 or higher treadwear rating

If that is the case I've found the 275/35/18 to still be a slightly smaller diameter than stock...? Please let me know your thoughts...thanks!
Also if anyone knows of a good "street" tire in a 275/*30*/18 let me know...I can't seem to find one.
