Default 18" tyres 235/40 90w or better

Guys I need to buy some 18" tyres and they are replacing my 17" RE070.
Anybody got anything they think are in the same league as the RE070? - - cannot buy 18" RE070...
Let me know dollars for what you bought as well.
Thanx Al

I wanted the RE070 as well in 18 but same story..

I'm currently conducting an experiment with tire wear, I'm running some
18/235/40 Pirelli PZERO Corsa R-Specs...cost 550 each, grip is excellent, have done 5000km (street only) so far and they would be less than 20% worn.

When I go to 18", it'll be between these. All are designed to be road tyres so shouldn't be affected by heat cycling.

Thanx guys, been thinking of the RT615s myself at around 370 corner ain't too bad either.
Do you know what are the Ventus K107 or Maxxis Victa MA-21 (this did well in a Wheels tyre test) go like?. Like wise Good year Eagle Revspec RS-02.

stay away from Ventus, the side wall is piss weak.... but if u insist on getting the Ventus, get it from midland tyre wholesalers. bought mine off them and they are $40 cheaper per corner compare to a well known tyre shop in ozzy park
