there are a few brands making the size.
Hankook (optimo or something like that)
Vredestein
Michelin (expensive)
Maxxis
I've had the michelins on the car since 2005 and have been really happy with the performance of them in the wet and cornering; and I had one go flat and replaced it with the maxxis one as it was 160 and to replace the michelin was 370 or something like that!
When I bought the michelins they were 140 ea then michelin made them part of a vintage range and overnight the price went up!
Cheers

I recently got a pair of nankangs also, they were $86 each fitted. They are alright, nice tread and outer profile too. Previously had Kumho powerstars and they were alright also. (Liked the outer profile more on these). I got them from Blairs Tyres in NSW, but any good tyre shop should be able to order these in for you.
Thats not rust, it's ah ... orange primer ... yep that's what it is ...
