Good tyres for Euro 17" Rims

[Fredoops]

Have just got new tyres on my CU2 Lux (55K on the OEM Michi's)
Apparently I got the last set of 235/45 R18's of any brand in Aus according to BJ, Jax, Tyrepower
Not sure if true guy's but I have been searching prior to Xmas, hope no one needs tyres soon. Was told by several shops that it will be 12 weeks before any stock lands in OZ

Ended up with Continentals at $500 a corner (they were shipped up from Melb to Brisvegas) - unfreakinbelievable

OUUUUUCHHHH>...

Probably cheaper for you to eBay some Eagle F1's from the states lol......

Damn I had decided to get the Kumho KU31's 225/45/17 as they are much cheaper but get good reviews. Turns out Kumho had a big price rise at the end of last year. KU31's are $196 each from www.option1garage.com.au and $215 fitted from a Bob Jane in Adelaide. The tyre manager at option1 confirmed that Kumho has lifted prices via email. Used to be able to get them around $130 at option1

Oh well, still cheaper than Yoko C Drives I was quoted $290 at the same Bob Jane.. Yikes. Might have to call around a bit more. Any Adelaidians here got some recommendations for good tyre places?

Koreans rose the price is probably becasue the the ZETUM's for same in bobjane which are made by Kumho

They had to adjust the price to make sure the Zetums sell...
