Kumho KU31. Give it a go.

Go to my sponsored forum. I have Federals for sale at a great price and can also provide Kumho's if you decide to make a smart choice.

Falken f452 - Noisy

Goodyear F1 D3 - Noisy - lots of wheel spin.

Dunplop Sport Max - Great tyre overall. - My ecperience is they didnt wear well.

Yokohama s.drive - Some say noisy, others love them, but at $409 a corner, stuff that.

Goodyear F1 Assymentrical. - Wins all the tests. Ugly tyre though (Yes Im shallow)

Anyway, any opinions or feedback would be great.

Falkin F452 - Great all round tyre... (Have them on the F6 now in 19" wear very well and grip +++ not noisy at all).

Goodyear F1 - No idea...

Dunlop Sports Maxx - OEm on the FPV - good grip, soft and dont wear that well.

Yokohama - Reg got some sort of Yokohama on his car - PM him... oh wait he posted above!

Goodyear F1 - hhhhmmm

My bet would be give the Falkens or even some Dunlop Durezza's a run. Both copies from each other - and both from the same parent company...

I'm replacing 2x of the Falkins with Durezzas to see how they go on the FPV - had them fitted on the XR5 a few months back - grippy!!!

KU31's - HARD, LOUD, so hard they break up and fall apart!!!

(My personal experience anyways).

Except for the price the performance would be pretty much the same, 19s or 18s.

I have Bridgestone RE11s in 18s.

Performance is out of this world. But they aren't cheap.

Where did you get the RE11's? They are suppose to be an amazing tyre. What was the cost?

Amazing they are :-)

$2100 NZ to my door. FedEx took a week.

Should be way cheaper for you Aussies.
