Default Need a new non-directional performance tyre.. suggestions?

Front 2 tyres are gone.. blame it on the camber..

anyway - im in need of 2 new ones - non directional so i can swap em around the car this time...

im looking at the bridgestone RE050's, pretty sure they are not directional...

Kumho Ecsta KU19...non directional, its their top of the range "premium performance" tyre.

PM a guy called Chaotic on Antilag forums...he does them for cheap, you'll be looking at around $225 per tyre in that size.

I had these on my last set of 18's

Great tyre for the price.. Used better tyres in the wet but they go alright

i loved the pirelli P6 all seasons i had! great in all conditions.

but you could always just put the front tyres on the back and even out the wear

I have Kumho Ecsta SPT's (directional) on my car. I know not every tyre is the same but I can vouch for the brand. Without knowing how stiff you want the sidewalls I'd say you'd like them. Very good life compound, plenty of mid corner grip and no screeching unless you're spinning up the bags

Yep I've found mine extremely quiet and plenty of dry grip with no squealing....I love them

They are definitely stiffer than my Falkens, I've noticed less floating with sharp directional changes since changing the tyres.
