Im in the market for some tyres (19x8). Would like something that is under $350 per tyre and has good grip performance for the occasional straight line racing, but no drifting, tracking or any stuff like that =) Any recommendations?

I Got Khumo ectas SPT's 235/35/ZR19. Great tyre, excellent in the wet.
I'm After other set soon, Tempe Tyres in sydney have them on back order but you wont find them cheaper anywhere else. Just Got quoted 250 per tyre. Normally 300-350 per tyre.

I just put on a set of Hankook K107 (takes over from the K104 as their premium tyre). 245/35/19 fronts and 275/30/19 rear. They replaced Dunlop FM702 which came with the rims when I got them. The Hankooks are considerably quieter, have excellent feedback in the wet for a tyre in this price range ($320-$400 per tyre depending on size) and the dry grip is awesome. Turn in is a touch slower than with some of the better tyres I have driven on such as Yokohama's, Michelins etc but for the cash these are very impressive.

I will be changing from Hankook Ventus 104 sports and will be going to BF Goodrich G-Force profiler's , these are the only Goodrich tyre made by the same process as the Michelin Pilot Sport [ BF Goodrich is owned by Michelin ] . These tyres are awesome , individually vacuum formed on a mold [ same as F1 tyres ]silca technology just the best short of something that costs $600.00 . You will get 65,000 K's out of them with outstanding grip wet or dry AND they are quiet . 245/40/18's can be had here in Queensland for $270.00 each fitted , 265/35/18's are $325.00 each , a great price .

Mate. Haven't Had a Drama with road noise. My Bro's Got Hankook ventus 19"s on his R34 Skyline (235's and 265's same size as mine) and personally I think the Kumho's feel a tad more confident in the tight stuff, they also get water away more efficiently than the Hankook's.

I found that the wet grip of the Kumho's are much better than a lot of the other tyres on the market, even exceeding the premium ones. But the dry grip for them is weak, even compared to the Nankang NS-2. They exhibit less road noise than other uni-directional tyres. I find them to be the best bang for your buck tyres, and very good for all round safety. I would definitely recommend them for daily drivers.
