They do, and they'll be around the $1400 mark for a set, balanced and put on.

Demontweeks is pretty good. They will land a set of 245/40/18 neova AD08's for approx $1350. They are noisy but stick well.

ive switched to er300's for daily use.. hard compound, quiet, dont really put it on edge so grip is not really an issue. already outlasted a usual pair of semi's and hardly any wear. same tyres as the police use.

Love my AD08s So much grip. Noisy, yes but so were the RE070s.

Why put tyres on an STI that are a performance downgrade

As mentioned go to Wheels World.

im now worried after reading everyone elses problems...if im gonna get rubbing issues.
18x8 +45 with a 235 tyre... without rolled guards... i could always lift the ass and balance it to the front.. thoughts ?

the reason is i live in broome and geraldton and to say our roads arent quite up to par compared to in the city. The rough roads chew threw my last 2 sets of re070's like cheese graters and the performance was hindered by this as well.. just after a set of tyres that will last a year..

Nice - Dropped into Wheels World today and the car is booked in for a set of S-Drives next Saturday. $1400 was spot on! 225's. They are actually a little fatter then standard 225's
