      Edit:

      Tire rack shows Hoosier A6, Hoosier R6, Kuhmo Ecsta V710 but those are all competition tires.

      best thing to do is just google 345/35-18

      something like and 18x10 front w/ 285/35's and what you have posted for the rear

      I have mine on 13" wide rims.
      No one makes a street tire in that size anymore.
      Bridgestone and Michelin used to and I have found pairs on ebay occasionally (especially on Ebay UK for some reason (they where a stock size tire on Jag XJ220's and certain Aston Martins).
      M&H and MT make a drag radial in that size
      Hoosier and Kumho make competition tires in that side (which I would not use for regular street driving)

      Michelin used to make a Pilot Sport Cup in 345/30, but they recently stopped making them aswell.

      12" is too small, there ar a zillion 335/35-18's, but 345/35-18 there is a HUGE market as Vipers can run them on stock rims since we come with the 335/35 stock. Know that the manufacturers change what they produce all the time, but there is a hnt that more 345/35's will be coming down the shoot. I know I have 335/35-18 in Nitto 555R and I would rather run a 345/35-18 DR 555R if I could.

      I tried to get Nitto to make a 335/18 but they said no.. trying now for a 315 in the new NT05..

      Costs a LOT to make a new size..

      Vipers run a 335-30-18 or 345-30-19 in the rear. I run the 345-30-18 Sport Cups for the track. Awesome tire. That's how the Viper ACR beat the ZR1 at the Nurburgring.

      Its funny your looking for these tires because I went through the same issue for the same car about a year ago hah..the answer I found was that there are EUROPEAN spec ps2's but they are something like 800 each plus shipping from britian. They used to sell them here but they haven't in a few years. They also made a bridgestone s-01 i believe it is a few years back...if you continually search the internet you'll find a good used set now and then. I mounted mine on billet specialties 18x12's and they really are the perfect fit...email me and I can send you pics of them mocked up in my 56 so you know how they'll look.

      Here's a pic of my Michelin PS 345/35/18's and 18x12.5 OZ Mitos mounted on my Callaway Aerobody ZR-1. As mentioned though,these tires have been discontinued.
