"Just read a new tyre test using 225-40-18's, so it should be pretty useful to us.
Anyway 10 brands tested
They have given points for dry/wet ,handling/braking/feedback etc
Results in the dry
1/ Pirelli P Zero,
2/ Mich Ps2,
3/Hankook s1 evo,
4/Conti 3
5/Dunlop GT
6/ Goodyear assymetric
7/Bridgestone Re050 A RFT
These tyres were pretty close with only 0.8 sec separating them on the track.
8/ Kuhmo KU19
9/ Toyo T1R
10/ Vredestein US
the toyo and The Sessanta's being about 2 secs a lap slower and also loosing points for braking etc.
In the wet.
1/ Conti 3
2/Hankook S1 evo
3/Goodyear assymetric
4/Pirelli P Zero
5/ Mich Ps2
6/Vredestein US
7/Toyo T1-R
8/Dunlop GT
9/10 Kuhmo and Bridgstones.
The bridgestone do badly in the wet as they're the RFT model,so very hard sidewalls
Differences best to worse.
Dry handling.
Pirelli, 1.04.6 secs to Toyo 1.06.5 secs
Dry braking, Conti 34.2m to Vredestein 37.5m
Wet Handling
Conti, 1.09 secs to Bridgestone 1.16.8 secs
wet braking, Conti 41.9m to Kuhmo 49.6m
Aquaplaning
Mich 89.9kmh to Kuhmo 81.6kmh
Overall Results.
1/ conti 3/ Pirelli P Zero
2/ Hankook S1 evo
3/Mich Ps 2
4/ Goodyear Assymetrics
5/Dunlop GT
6/Vredestein US
7/ Bridgestone RFT ( not really comparable as it's a Run Flat tyre )
8/Toyo T1 R
9/Kuhmo KU19
Between the top 5 there's not much in it really, apart from the price.
The Hankook wins that hands down."
Maybe this is of some use to you! Thanks to Jaybyme.
Camskills do the Hankook at £73.90 for your size or 87.30 for mine (235/40/18)

It seems that pound collapse and general credit crunch is starting to affect tyre prices and availaibility as companies such as camskills go lean. I was looking to buy at the end of Feb and was torn between the Sessantas and TI1R's in my size (they were within a quid at Camskills). Then the TIR's went up nearly 20 quid and the Sessanta's not much less. I was still going to for the Sessanta's but Camskills now don't appear to even offer them any more.
Guess I will be going for the Hankooks now, but tbh they look a better tyre so I guess I should be happy at being canny even if I wasn't.
They should re-brand the name though.
