WTB: Scrub tires

I have some 295/30/18 R7's but the tire is too small and messes my gearing. I prefer a taller tire. Anyone in the Southern CA area have a set of used but still useful slicks or R compounds they are willing to sell? There is not enough time to ship a set of tires from anywhere (Within financial reason), as I need them by Saturday to go to Chuckwalla. I am willing to drive up to even LA if I need to. This was a last minute deal unfortunately and don't have extra tires.

Keep us posted.
 
I am not leaving until Sunday morning if that matters about your pilot friend, but Service Specialist did not have any. Amazon was a bust too. I will just run the R7's. @ArizonaBOSS , didn't you run the 295/30's when you had the MT82. How was the gearing at Chuchwalla? I know somewhere like Streets of Willow would be fine, but when I ran them at Big Willow, I kept running out of 4th. That is however a large track with fast corners.

And you’re around those with the T 56 right?

Still on MT82. T56 ready to install after thanksgiving. At chuckwalla with the 315/30/18 and 7800 RPMs I can bump the limiter in 4th on both straights. I usually short-shift to 5th on the back straight. Otherwise shuffling back and forth between 3rd and 4th, but you can run the entire track in 4th if you wanted.
You going CW or CCW??
 
CW and I have stock rear gears. the 315 is only 10 MM larger of a diameter. So, assuming your gears are 3.73 (is that what comes on the boss) I may be right there with you. Mainly 3rd and 4th with 5th on the straight. My rev limiter is at 7400.
