Hey Ali.

I bought the kumho's from MWT, I think they're called mag wheel and tyres in Preston.

The service was very good, no complaints.

FYI - the Bridgestones have dropped in price - Herb Morgans has them priced at $210 for the fronts (235/45/17) and $250 for the rears (255/40/17)

I worked out that I got just over 40,000km on mine, so not bad.

Ali for your rear to wear out faster you must have a lead foot. My fronts wear faster and not uniform wear, the inside wears faster even with wheel alignment every 15,000 kms.

The Proxies 4's always feel that good :-) Still get a thrill out of mine when I plant it on a corner that my previous tyres would have let go on, and it just grips, so I poke it some more, and it still grips!

The Maxxis I bought were good value, lots of silicone in the z1's, and they were cheap a couple of years ago at $170 for a 235/45/17. The v1's were $149.

IIRC they kicked butt in a motor magazine test up against the big brand/big price tag tyres.

I agree on the Maxxis; value for money.
Quite silent on the road too.
