Alex...you probably had the r-s3 but the 1st version which was still a road legal semi slick like ad08s but had a 100UTQG rating...Hankook since revised the tyre a while back

Most likely was. It's been a number of years since I had those tyres, and have been running v12's since then instead. Disregard my out of date information!

Anyone bought from Tempe Tyres | Australia's Leading Tyre & Wheel Centre ?

Seem very cheap compared to local stores for what im after. To the tune of $150 per tyre cheaper (plus shipping, still works out a lot cheaper, wondering why so much cheaper). Looking at Kumho KU39s

Never bought from Tempe but mate has, no issues.
Also St George tyres usually has very good prices - Welcome to St. George Tyres

Everything is cheaper over east

Yeah I used St George last time for my Pirelli's - was a good price.

I'm after 255/35/18 which are $199 at Tempe (+shipping).

Kumho's from Tempe and Ozzy are brought in by them directly, not through Kumho's official channels, so are not covered by Kumho Australia's Public Liability Insurances or Product Replacement Warranties (for incorrectly produced tyres, rapid wear tyres etc). All tyres have a series of letter codes on the side so the manufacturer/wholesaler knows what market they are intended for (the warranties have been tested in the past and rejected)

From next week until end of July, Wheels World have 4 Yokahamas for price of 3. Inc the AD08R.
25% off is pretty good!
