Help with tyres please :)
Well looks like I'm going to try the Achillies 123 S 235/40/18. Would have loved to try the Federals RS-R's but rang everywhere Option 1 Garage, Jax, Tyre Power, F1 wheel and tyre, and bout 3 other independents. All said no stock for what I'm after! And no ETA either could be a few months. Looks like they all go through the same wholesaler. Get em Thursday see how they go

The dealer put them on- I'd be a bit cautious about purchasing tyres named after someone with a notoriously dodgy foot.
They lasted about 30k of pretty sedate driving.
Replaced them with KU31’s, which lasted 26k, but felt much, much better.
Damn, I wish we could get KU36 for $200 per tyre fitted here in WA. My last quote was +300 per corner.
I've just received another 4 KU 31’s from St Geo Tyres, and will have them fitted this week.
Which Achillies? I am running ku36 now great tyres had them for about 29k rears wore out on the inner before the fronts and I don't drive lightly. Have got plenty of grip but got extremely noisy. Keen to try something along the lines of kuhmos and price. RS-Rs are out so either Nitto which were harder to find and then there were Achillies. I couldn't wait to get some shipped need them now. They are meant to be semi slicks. But get what you pay for so wait and see hope they are good. Anyone running them or know someone running them?

RS3s can be had for about 1k fitted...

Once the fronts are worn on my car (currently has Carbon series on the fronts...never heard of em, place where i bought the car must have put them on) then Michelins PSSs shall be employed on all corners. Im expecting a day/night contrast to grip levels.
I have owned many makes/models of tyres over the years and the Michelin PSS's are the best all round.
My RT615s rocked for lateral grip but semis are no good for straight line grip.
The PSS's grip harder in a straight line, nearly as good in the bends, have more forgiving sidewalls (not as harsh) and are quieter.. plus they actually get grip in the wet AND have longer wearing tread. Cant go wrong!
Will def buy again.

I'm at 32300km and the stock SP Sport 2050's are at 50% worn.
