Default 18" Tyre Choices

Need some recommendations for 18" Tyres... (225/40/18)

Been quoted N3000s, Sumi HTRZ IIs, Khumo Ku-23 and Ku-31 (all under $200).
Would love some bridgestones, but i cant justify $400 a corner for all the highway kms i do, and i have rcomps for the track. Any recommendations around the $200/corner mark?

Cheers!

Don't stinge on tyres, it is the only thing between you and the road. Even if you only do highway km's, there can always be a situation where you need the grip, even more so with a performance car.

Highway km's just mean that your tyre investment will last longer!

Toyo and falken are usually good value for money in terms of performance for price.

Falken RT615's in 225/40R18.
Very good grip in the dry.
Standing water not so good.

But they will be more expensive at around $300 straight from Tempe Tyres NSW.
