Does anybody have some recommendations for tyres 235 x 18" ?

I am looking to spend up to $250 each tyre if necessary. Had a quick look at TOYO TEO today and looked good but thought id get some feed back on what others recommend before shelling out.

Would love to hear peoples opinions.

I'm running Nexen tyres on my car and havent had any probs with them, for being cheap tyres the grips surprises me.

I havnt seen the Nexons before? ill google

The Toyo's look great, hoping for a quality tyre that will handle the occasional spirited driving.

Another tyre I was looking at is a Falken RT615 for just over $200 per tyre. appears to be more a sport tyre if anyone can comment on its characteristics

What Nexens Mate? I had N3000s and found them utter **** !
I bought $95 tyres and they are sooooo much better lol

Really I have found its pretty hard to find a **** tyre in a low profile these days, the nexens were $250 each, then went to $95 tyres and they are much better. More $ does not always mean better.
Look are the Tread Wear number, Anything below 340, Temp A And traction AA and will be sweet.

dunlop sp sports fast response 235/40R18 95w. don't know if you'd buy them for $250 ea but there was an ad on tv last night that stated that beaurepaires are doing 25% off dunlop tyres if you purchase 4. worth a look. i run them on my vt and i'm very happy with overall performance and so damn quiet.(a mate runs toyo's on his vu ss ute and gives them the big thumbs up )

Have Kumho KU31's on mine, wet and dry grips levels are pretty good. Not sure about wear though as they have only been on for a few thousands k's.
