Hey guys. Got the michelin 3 st. 225 / 45 / 18. Cost $235 a tyre. Bob jane discount was not great ($4 or so off a tyre).
Treadwear rating is 340 which is decent.
All I can say is the noise has definitely dropped.
These are probably the best tyres for the price for this car. I did a recording before getting the tyres, ill do another and see if I can upload the comparison.
