Plenty of choice out there.

Popular choices are the Yoko S drives or AD08's.
Bridgestones RE001, Khumo KU36 are also common choices.
Then there is Pirelli, Dunlop, Toyo, Nexen, Hankook, Federal, etc.

Really depends on your budget and what you want them for.
Just road or some track as well, rallysprints, motorkhana?

I have Yokohama S Drives on mine (18x40x225) and am very happy with them. They are not cheap at around $320 each but are great in the wet and the dry and have low road noise.

I'm on a bit of a budget and looking for the cheaper side of a tyre but still im hoping to find a decent tyre with grip and good tread life
So if you guys know of a cheaper option but still a decent tyre that would be great!
Particularly looking at kumho's but unsure what they're worth.

Have a read of this thread, it may help. http://www.perth-wrx.com/vb/mechanic...481-tyres.html

Its an older thread but most of the advice should still be relevant.

Achilles 123S are cheap?

If you want good tread life, look at the treadwear rating. The high the rating the softer the compound and faster wear, but less grip for the most part.

Have a look at Buy Tyres Online | Cheap Car Tyres | Brisbane, Gold Coast, Melbourne, Sydney - International Tyre Trader

I got a set of KU36's for $194 a piece.
