I have forgeline wheels running 275/35-19 & 325/30-20. I'm having my last set of Nankang CR-S v2s mounted tomorrow and there isn't any US stock of these I can find until they finish clearing up their paperwork issues with the NHSTA. The only tires I can find are Mercedes spec Cup 2s (not R) or Toyo R888Rs. I'm doing a 2 day event at the Glen in mid-July and I'll want to have fresh tires. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I ran the R888Rs in those sizes on my HCI 600rwhp C6Z on the track. They worked out fine. They don't have the grip of Cup2 type tires but I got 5-6K street miles and several track days. I would drive up to 450 Miles OW for track events. With the open tread they are noisy, but with full HCI and headers/B&B exhaust that wasn't an issue for me. They could handle reasonable rain also. My C6Z was ~400#+ lighter than the C8Z.
