I got hold of a nice set of 18" mags for my P38, so am looking for a set of tyres to go with them, so would appreciate some recommendations thanks.
I will not be doing any offroad, the odd unsealed road now and then, but thats all, pretty much a Toorak tractor!!:D
I'm not after any u-beaut patterns, just pretty standard and hopefully long lasting, thanks for any advise.

thanks for that.
I got Coopers on at the moment and they seem to be quite nice.
Will get pricing next week.

I dropped into Bob Jane T-Mart today and ordered a set of Cooper Zeon XST-A (http://www.coopertires.com.au/tyres/zeon%20XSTA.htm) @ $310 a pop fitted & balanced, a pretty good deal.
They will be fitted to the 18" mags and car tomorrow, will post photo's once its all done.

They look the part :).
Did you fit the centralising rings too?

yes, have to, otherwise there will be bad vibration at anything over 60km/h
