Pushing for it. Anyone else who would like to see such a tire exist, go email all the manufacturers currently making fast 200tw tires. More voices helps. I'd recommend "Here is why you should make this" rather than "Hi are guys going to make this?"

Got a response from Maxxis:
We are glad to hear you are loving the 245/40R15 VR-1! Thanks for the support. What type of motorsports are you using them for? Track days or competition?
We have been asked to make a 275/35R15 in the past for Miata racing and are continuing to investigate the possibility of making this size. Are you also requesting this size for Miata racing or do you have an other use for the tire? Any information you can share with us would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your request.

If any mods see this, is there any chance we could mention this thread in the racing section briefly? The wheels and tires section is pretty slow and I think a lot of people that may be interested won't see it.

This is about a street street legal tire that isn't useless in the rain. Not an HPDE/autocross focused product although they could obviously be used for that.
Anybody that needs more grip than a 275/35/15 VR-1 will generate on track will opt for Hoosiers, Toyo RR, FA fronts or something similarly suitable.
IOW, a 275/35 VR-1 overlaps with smaller Hoosiers in terms of $/speed. It's not practical however, to run a full slick on the street as a daily for most drivers. Thus the need for the biggest damn street tire evar.
