Need to get new tyres, I tried shopping around for tyres locally but they are stupid expensive.
Thinking of ordering from temptyres, 215/40/17 and 235/40/17 are what I'm after. Kuhmo and Hancook are the only ones that have those sizes with the correct loadings.
 
So which one should I buy?

I can't help you with tyres sorry, but i like your wheels... what are they, and what size/offset?
Do you have any pics posted?
 
Cheers

Volks/Rays GT-C 17x8 +35 (face 1) 17x9 +33 (face2).  face 1 = flat spoke, face 2 = concave
That's not my car btw, but it's what I wanted mine to look like before the accident :(  I do have the same wheels though but 1 inch smaller width wise.
 
 
Check out the link hi-res pics of that same car, they're very nice.

I think they'd be line ball. Because of that, I'd personally pick whichever is cheapest unless its aged stock, but if same pricing (similar age), would lean towards/try the Hankooks. KU31 great in my experience though.

I was previously running the KU31's on my old rims and am now running the KU39's and have always been very happy with the Kumho's

Enquired about the Hancook's they were manufactured in 2010..... however they're 150 each hmm
I could order Ku31 or 39's as well for around 200, so they may be fresher.
 
Found a local Hancook distributor, I'll call up and ask for pricing then flip a coin if they cost about the same as Kuhmos.
