100% certainty that they had RS-3 on the sidewall and were a semi slick. This was a few years ago now though.

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 Disregard my out of date information!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).
