    I'm not sure where, but I'd recommend Kumho KU-31 tyres. I had some fitted to my car at the weekend and they're great - quiet, smooth and responsive - even at 140 km/h!

    How many km have you done on your KU31's? They start to get noisy as hell as they wear. They're a great tyre other than that, as you said.

    You can pick up - KU31's, Federal 595's and Falken FK452's for all around about 200ea if you look around. I would go the FK452's over the ku31 or federals though. Just my 2 cents.

    Also try looking up stgeorgetyres on ebay. They are quite cheap to buy and post!

    I paid 280 per tyre of my KU31s and have only done about 400km on them so far ...

    Running Falken FK452 myself, staggered 20's just over 10k kms on them now and can't fault them at all. Handle great even in the wet, not noisy at all. Best choice I made personally.

    I loved the 452s on my last car. Just had a quote for $220/corner F&B at Tempe Tyres (245/45 x 18)

    I picked up a set of FK452s at Tempe Tyres on the weekend. Price was down a LOT from a few weeks ago

    $170 each incl F&B but I took them home to fit at a later date. Too god not to buy them
