Thanks for all the replies,
yes I called discount tires a few weeks ago but found that they werw a
bit on the expensive side for the Hankook RA08 195. On the other side, I
have to get new tires quite urgent hehe, its getting to a point where I
have to change, I might go with them. Unfortunately, the hankook is not
listen on the webpage, hence they won't have it in stock. I'll keep you
posted what I am doing in the end.
Cheers
Thomas
