For Falken stuff try OzzyTyres or Tempe Tyres. They're in Sydney but can freight them over for you.

I've heard that you will have a hard time beating these guys in regards to pricing.

Never used the tyre before though, so can't help ya there brother sorry.

try this link for reviews on http://www.iwsti.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57575

you also note one of my fav quotes on tyres:
The RE070's sidewall is almost as stiff as God is in the morning when he wakes up... *almost*.

wrxtasy has these and they seem quite good for the price (he got them from Tempe and freighted over) - quiet, sticky, semi-track, good if you want to do some motorsport but don't want to change wheels all the time.

If you want a tyre that's going to last you longer than the RE070's then you're picking the WRONG tyre. These are even softer than the RE070's.

I just like the name though!

haha nah will treat these a bit different to the RE070's. I think alot of their wear had to do with 2 really bad wheel alignments, which I have had properly sorted out now.

They're pretty expensive dude! I'd consider something less pricey if they're just for street driving.

Jaron, ring Tempe if your keen on the Falken RT615's. Their prices are hard to beat.

Mine were 225/40 R18. $330 plus $15 per tyre for delivery. Less for 17's. They were delivered here within 3 days.

Cannot tell you about wear yet. A proper wheel alignment and sorted suspension has a lot to do with wear as well. They are quiter than my previous Bridgestone SO'3. This is on a 1250kg GC8 WRX.

Grippy in the dry.
Not bad in the wet. Resistance to hydroplaning/aquaplaning is average.
